Commonly Used Actions

Click this menu to perform the following actions:

Field Description
Submit/Submit File

This action displays if transaction center approvals are enabled and if the status of the transaction or transaction file is In Progress. Select this action to submit an individual transaction or a transaction file (transactions grouped into a file) for approval.

Approve

This action displays if transaction center approvals are enabled and the status of the transaction or transaction file is Submitted. Select this action and then approve or reject the individual transaction or the transaction file. (You can also post the transaction or file if complete approvals are not required for posting.)

Post

This action displays if transaction entry is set up to so that you enter transactions individually, rather than in files. If you enabled transaction center approvals, this action displays when the transaction status is Submitted or Approved. Select this action to post the transaction.
