(ID#9007) Set this A/P option in Options Configuration to Yes to require users to obtain approval before running Accounts Payable checks. To approve, a user with security bit 883 (Allowed to Approve A/P Check Run) must click Approve in the function "Accounts Payable Invoice Selection, Payment, and Maintenance (APMU)" after invoices, credits, and debits have been selected for payment.
Unless selected invoices, credits, and debits are approved, you cannot run checks. If changes in selections are made after approval, the approval is automatically revoked, and the selections must be approved again. Once checks have been run you confirm that they have been successfully printed, approval no longer applies, and new selections must again be approved.
The Approve button appears on the APMU toolbar only when the signed on user has security bit (883) set to Yes.
Option 1976 "Which invoices require approval for check runs?" allows flexibility to only require approval for vendor invoices set up for ACH and/or vendor invoices configured for live checks.
Note: Requires Option 9007 "Require A/P Check Run Approval" set to Yes.
If Option 1976 is set to "A - All Invoices", each selected invoice in APMU will require approval before running the Print Check report (APCM).
If Option 1976 is set to “E - Only ACH Invoices”, check run approval will only be required for invoices configured with the "A - ACH" payment type in Bank Code Maintenance (ABMU).
If Option 1976 is set to "X – Only non-ACH Invoices”, check run approval will only be required for invoices configured with the "C - Check" payment type in ABMU.
