Overview of the Authorization facility

SunSystems Financials includes an optional authorization control facility. It ensures that selected transactions are authorized for particular types of processing. For example, authorization may be required to:

• Post a journal to certain sensitive accounts.
• Produce a payment over a predefined limit.

Authorization can apply to selected transactions in any of following Financials processing:

• Ledger Entry/Import
• Matching/Allocations
• Payments

Authorization is only permitted in the A Ledger. Only certain transactions require authorization. These depend on the transaction details and the process. They also depend on the filters you configure and assign to the authorization stages.

An example authorization scenario is provided to demonstrate one possible use and configuration of authorizations.
