Maintaining Invoice Authorized Approvers

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to manage invoice authorized approvers and limits.

Invoice Authorized Approvers Overview

An authorized approver is a user with the standard Invoice Approver role and special approver permissions for limit approval. If your company wants to use limit approval, you will assign each authorized approver an amount limit. The authorized approver can then approve an invoice if the amount is equal to or less than their assigned limit.
