Payables CU67

This section contains enhancements in Infor CloudSuite Financials for 11.0.67.0.

Nest approval codes into an approval code group

The new approval code groups functionality allows you to build a new approval route by nesting existing approval codes into levels within an approval code group. Approval codes can be used in many approval code groups and updates made to an approval code is applied globally to all approval code groups that include that approval code as a level.

Escalation to the next level is now allowed on the last approval level in an approval code. If the approval code is in an approval code group with an active next level, the escalation occurs. If there is not an active next level, no escalation occurs.
