Work In Process

The Work In Process document queue is the "work center" for the Processor. All invoices processed by the Processor, but not yet exported, can be managed here.

 

 

Remembering Your Document Status / Invoice Status

 

The system will remember where you were when last you accessed a particular queue status. The next time you access Invoice Entry, you will systematically be taken directly to that particular queue status.

This is by user and by vault. Whether you navigated to a different area of Sage Intacct Paperless or logged totally out, the system should remember exactly where you were.

 

 

Logging In

 

1.From My Paperless, click APFlow™.

2.From the APFlow™ navigation bar, click Invoice Entry.

3.In the Processor field, keep the identified Processor or use the field dropdown to select the Processor who is assigned to the invoices being entering.
 
If the Processor identified in this field is a Supervisor in the current vault, proxy rights are bypassed and all processors display in the Processor field dropdown.
As a Supervisor, if you are looking for a specific invoice and not sure which Processor entered it, there is an All Processors option in the Processor field dropdown.
 
AllProcessorsProcessorfield-mh
 
This way, as a Supervisor, you can view all invoices for the Processors on your team. This is vault specific
 
Note:  The Processor who logged in to Sage Intacct Paperless will populate the Processor field as the default.

 

4.In the Document Status field, use the dropdown to select Work In Process.

5.In the Invoice Status field, use the dropdown to select one of the following:

From this dropdown you can select Document ID, Entry Date, Invoice Date, Invoice Total, Vendor Name or Vendor Number. The list of documents in your Work In Process queue will display by the sort you select from this dropdown.

 

Sage Intacct Paperless will remember the sort you select.

Note:  This is per vault, per user.

Invoice Statuses

 

Incomplete

These are invoices that are only partially coded; started, not yet routed.

Pending

These are the newly entered invoices displaying in the Pending status. These invoices are fully coded or coded enough to be routed and are pending approval. This is the initial status of a routed invoice.

 

For an invoice to be ready to be routed for review, and to be able to continue through the entire routing cycle, that invoice must meet the following criteria:

 

Header total must equal the sum of all lines.

All lines must be assigned to at least one Reviewer.

 

During the route, if key values such as cost codes or invoice amounts are changed, the following prompt will display and remain visible while the Reviewer is making changes to the invoice:

 

ResettoPendingtoast-mh

 

Once the changes are complete and the Reviewer leaves the newly modified invoice, the status of this invoice is systematically reset to Pending. How far back in the route the invoice is reset to, is based on your company's Reviewer Sequence Threshold Advanced setting. (For details on this setting, click here.) The invoice will display in that Reviewer's Pending and Reapprove statuses to be reviewed again as well as other Reviewer(s) in line to review the invoice afterward.

Rejected

These are invoices listed as rejected by Reviewers and require additional action before the route can continue.

 

Processors can immediately view their rejected invoices in their Rejected status in Invoice Entry.

 

Reviewers can view their rejected invoices in their Rejected status in Approve Invoices.

Approved

These are invoices with an Approved status. These are invoices that are fully approved by all assigned Reviewers and are eligible for export to the accounting system.

Approval Alert

These are invoices with an Approval Alert status.

 

Invoices with an Approval Alert status must meet these two criteria:

 

Invoice is approved.

The Approval Alert check box was checked for this invoice by the Processor while in Invoice Entry.

Recalled

These are invoices that were routed for review but were systematically recalled.

 

If the Processor removes a line from the invoice, the following prompt will display and remain visible while other changes are made to the invoice:

 

RecallRemovingRouteLinestoast-mh

 

If the Processor adds a line to the invoice, the following prompt will display and remain visible while other changes are made to the invoice:

 

RecallAddingRouteLinestoast-mh

 

Once changes are complete and the Processor leaves the newly modified invoice, the status of this invoice is systematically changes to Recalled. The invoice will display in Invoice Entry, Work In Process, Recalled status. The Processor will access their Recalled status list and make any final changes to the invoice. After clicking Routebutton-mh, the Processor will assign line(s) as appropriate and then click UpdateRoutebutton-mh to restart the route. The invoice will now be in the Pending status.

 

 

Continue with working through the Invoice Entry workflow by following the steps to Approve the invoice and then Export it.
