Use this screen to enter the approver ID and name of each employee who is authorized to approve vendors.
This screen is part of the Vendor Approval feature. The Vendor Approval feature implements the segregation in your organization of employees authorized to create vendor records from employees authorized to approve vendors. It also creates an audit trail each time a user saves changes. Your organization's internal accounting operations procedures and internal documentation could require the use of segregation, an audit trail, or both, to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
You must set up the approver ID of authorized users in this screen before you will be able to use the Approve Vendors screen in the Accounts Payable module. If you do not set up an authorized user in this screen, you will only have read-only access to the Approve Vendors screen.
Enter (up to 20 characters), or select from the lookup list, the ID of the employee who is authorized to approve vendors.
This read-only field displays the employee's name.
Data entered in this screen updates the VEND_APPRVR table.
