Authority codes

Authority codes are used so that an authorized person or group of persons can approve invoices. Authority codes are created and maintained in Payables. Use Authority Code to create authority codes for a company.

All lease invoices are approved before they are interfaced to Lease Accounting for payment processing. An authority code must be assigned to an invoice for approval.

You can assign an authority code during one of three phases in the process:

Task	Process
Payment schedule setup	Use Payment Schedule or Recurring Payment
Invoice adjustment	Use Payment Schedule Composite. Selecting a lease record. The Lease Addition And Adjustments page is displayed. Click the Payment Schedule button.
Invoice approval	Click the Approve button.

Lease invoices require an Authority Code to interface to Payables. Users can specify an authority code on the Lease invoice. If the Authority Code field is blank then the value from the Vendor is the default. See the Payables User Guide for authority codes and their hierarchy.
