The Steps Required to Authorize Transactions

The transactions that require authorization are automatically recognised by Financials. The operator who entered or selected these transactions, referred to as the authorization originator, is prompted to enter comments and the transactions are automatically marked as awaiting authorization. See 'Marking Transactions for Authorization'.

The set of transactions is then placed on the Authorization In-Tray for the default authorizer.

Note: Authorizers are not alerted to the fact that new transactions are awaiting their authorization, hence they must check their authorization in-tray frequently.

See 'Understanding the Authorization Process' for more information.

The following steps are required to authorize a set of transactions awaiting authorization:
