1.From My Paperless, click APFlow™ Settings.

2.In the APFlow™ Settings navigation bar, click Entry Fields.
 
The Entry Fields main page displays.
 

3.In the Line Type field, use the dropdown to select Header or any of the available selection. The options in the dropdown correspond to line detail fields and are based on the bridged accounting system.
 
Based on the line type you select, the bottom detail pane will populate.
 
Each labeled field is configurable.
 

Reset Default

The Reset Default field returns all fields to their original default properties only for the Line Type displaying.
It does not reset the fields in any of the other Line Types not currently displaying.
Warning:  If a custom field for the current Line Type was used in invoice routing rules, and Reset Default was clicked, the Administrator must remove the custom field from the routing rules first and then return to the Entry Fields page to remove that custom field.
As a precaution, if Reset Default is clicked and a custom field was used in invoice routing rules, a dialog box will display advising that the custom field was used in invoice routing rules and that the custom field must be removed from invoice routing rules before being removed.

 

4.The Show Hidden Fields check box is where to decide if the identified field should be visible or not on the Invoice Entry page. Click this check box if the field will be "hidden" on the Invoice Entry page.
Leave the check box blank if the field should be visible.

This is where to decide if the field description should display. If it is visible, the italicized text displays below the field.
Yes indicates that a description for this field will display.
No turns off the display.

Allow Processor Edit
(Yes / No)

This is where to decide if Processors should have either write or read-only access.
Yes indicates that the field can be edited by Processors. This is the default.
No means this field is read-only.

Allow Reviewer Edit
(Yes / No)

This is where to decide if Reviewers should have either write or read-only access.
Yes indicates that the field can be edited by Reviewers on the Approve Invoices page. This grants Reviewers the ability to view and edit the full invoice the same as Processors would.
No means this field is read-only on the Approve Invoices page.

Important: A field may be set to allow modification; however, there may be instances when logic within the form will not allow for modification.
For example:  A tax code must be entered in the Tax Code field before the Tax Amount field is enabled, even if the Tax Amount field is set to Allow Reviewer Edit.

When To Require

Beginning with the Description field, the Administrator can determine which fields are not required, which fields are required and if required, when.
Not Required is the default for most fields; Before Routing is the default for some of the date fields. A third status is Before Approving.
Any field that the Administrator has determined to be required will display in the Validations Results dialog box if it is left blank.

Note: Vendor and Invoice # fields are not configurable. These fields are programmatically pre-defined as required.

Max Length

This field identifies the number characters you can have in the field. This field is read-only and for informational purposes.
