Managing the AP User Dashboard

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to assign invoices to the appropriate owner.

The AP Dashboard Overview

The Invoice Manager page contains links to important tasks the Invoice AP User and Invoice Processor need to perform daily, such as assign, approve, send back, or recall invoices. Most importantly, the Invoice Manager page provides an age count on invoices to ensure invoices are processed in time and do not become overdue. To access the Invoice Manager page, select the Invoice menu in Concur.

Under My Tasks, there are options to create new invoices, view unsubmitted invoices (2), all invoices (2), unassigned invoices in the back office (13), and unapproved vendors (78). Navigation tabs are at the top.

The Invoice AP User and Invoice Processor roles have access to the Invoice Manager page. Below is a list of invoice types available to these two roles:

Invoice Type	Invoice AP User	Invoice Processor
Unverified Capture	X	X
Unassigned Invoices	X	X
Unapproved Vendors	X	X
All Unsubmitted Invoices		X
All Unapproved Invoices		X
Pending Accounting Review		X
All Unpaid Invoices		X

Edit Invoice Age Thresholds

To edit invoice age thresholds:

Steps

On the Invoice Manager page, select Edit Company Dashboard.
Select the pen on the top right-hand corner of the All Unapproved Invoices section.
Update the threshold in the Value column and then select Save.

The Unassigned Invoices Page Overview

On the Unassigned Invoices page, the Invoice AP User or Invoice Processor can manage unassigned invoices that have not yet been submitted. Once a list is returned by Concur Invoice, the user can then assign and unassign invoices individually, or in bulk, to a new invoice user. This is useful for organizations that use the centralized Accounts Payable (AP) back-office model, where a single employee may be responsible for assigning and monitoring invoices across an organization.

To access the Unassigned Invoices page, from the Invoice Manager page select Unassigned Invoices in the Active Invoices or Back Office section. The Unassigned Invoices page appears with a list of unassigned invoices.

To assign invoices to owners:

On the Unassigned Invoices page, in the View list, select All Unassigned Invoices or Unassigned Invoices Created by Me.
