Approving invoices for payment

If you have assigned payment approval amounts, you must approve payments that exceed your approval amounts before they can be scheduled for payment. For example, you may require a vice president level approval for invoices over $20,000. Payment approval is distinct from any invoice approval you may require as part of your company rules. This procedure describes the payment approval process for invoices.

Payment approvals are based on transaction amounts and are performed only after an invoice is released.
