Invoice Payment Approval (LM36.1)

Use Invoice Payment Approval (LM36.1) to review and approve invoice payments created using Invoice Creation (LM131) and revised using Invoice Adjustment (LM31.1). You can also approve and interface invoice payments to the Lawson Accounts Payable (AP) application by using the Approve and Interface to AP (A) line function.

When invoices are interfaced to AP, LM comments are copied as Invoice Notes and AP check comments are copied as Check Comments.

Use the Inquire form action to view the invoice payments you want to review.

To view all unreleased invoice payments for the company, with or without authority code, just enter the company name.
To view only invoices for a single authority code, enter the code in the Authority Code field.
To view only approved or only unapproved invoices for the company, enter Yes (Y) or No (N) in the Approved field.

A lease invoice must be approved before it can be interfaced to the Accounts Payable application and it can be approved only if it has been assigned an authority code. You can assign an authority code to a lease invoice during any of the following steps:

When you create a payment schedule for the lease using Payment Schedule (LM30.1) or Recurring Payment (LM30.2)
When you revise an invoice, using Invoice Adjustment Miscellaneous (LM31.2).
When you approve an invoice, using this form.
