Authorizer

Enter the name of the person authorizing the voucher. The field is enabled when Voucher Authorization is selected on the Purchasing Parameters form. If you do not enter a name, the purchase order buyer from the first selected purchase order appears as the authorizer in the generated voucher or adjustment.

When the A/P transaction is generated, the PO Line/Release Unit Material Cost is compared to the Vouchered Cost. If there is a variance between the two, the authorization status is changed to failed; otherwise, the status is Matched. The voucher authorization feature considers only the material costs and does not consider variances in freight, miscellaneous charges, duty, brokerage, insurance, local freight, or sales tax.
