# Override Send to Approval as the default action
## Before you start
To handle large amounts of invoices more efficiently, you can send all invoices to Approval as a default action.
If nothing is selected in the [Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-ledger-preferences-ap101000/) window or in the [Suppliers (AP303000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/suppliers-ap303000/) window, the system will use the Approval license to define the default action.
+ If Approval is activated, the default action is **Send to Approval**. For Sweden, if the pre-booking functionality is also activated in Approval, the default action is **Pre-book and Send to Approval**.
+ If Approval is not activated, the default action is **Release**.
You can override these actions defined by the license, by following the instructions below.
1. Go to the [Supplier ledger preferences (AP101000)](/visma-net-erp/help/supplier-ledger/supplier-ledger-windows/supplier-ledger-preferences-ap101000/) window.
