Approve Vouchers

Use this screen to approve vouchers when the Require Approvals checkbox is selected on the Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings and Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings screens.

If approval is required, the approval behavior depends on whether Dela approval is enabled:

  • When Allow Dela Approval is selected, only vouchers that are not automatically approved by Dela require manual approval.
  • When Allow Dela Approval is not selected, all vouchers must be manually approved.

See the following special topics for more information on Dela voucher approval:
- Configure Dela for AP Voucher Processing
- Configure Dela for PO Voucher Processing

Vouchers that exceed the amount specified in the Approval Required Above field on the Configure Accounts Payable Voucher Settings screen must be approved before they can be posted to the Accounts Payable files.

For purchase order vouchers, approval is based on the option selected and amount specified in the Approval Required group box on the Configure Purchase Order Voucher Settings screen. In addition, purchase order vouchers that exceed the Discrepancies Allowed limits are set to an unapproved status, even if they are below the approval threshold.

If the draft and submission workflow is enabled, only submitted vouchers are eligible for approval. To know more about the draft and submission workflow, see Enable the Draft Feature and Submission Workflow for Vouchers.

Only users defined on the Configure Approver Settings screen can access this screen.

Approve vouchers after data entry is complete and verified. You can approve vouchers at any point after entry up to the Post Vouchers process. Only approved vouchers can be posted to the Accounts Payable files.
