Vault Filter

To locate a particular vault, begin typing the vault number or name in the Vault Filter field. This list of vaults displaying in the grid will reflect the numbers or letters entered in this field.

AP Processor

Users assigned to this role enter and route accounts payable invoices to Reviewers for approval.

Each Processor is considered the "owner" of the invoice with work queues that track invoice status until invoices are exported to the bridged accounting system.

AP Reviewer

Reviewers have access to Approve Invoices where they view and approve invoices routed to them by AP Processors.

AP Supervisor

AP Supervisors can access the APFlow™ setup screens which include the Manage AP Flow setup screen as well as routing rule setup and Invoice Manager.

AP Supervisors also have access to all AP Processor queues.

AP Check Reviewer

This role gives a user rights to the AP Check Review module where AP checks and associated invoice information can be reviewed.

AP Auditor

Reserved for auditors of the APFlow™ system.

Anyone assigned to this role is granted read-only access to the Invoice Manager screen.

This allows the auditor to access the APFlow™ system for auditing purposes but does not allow information to be changed.

 

Depending on the role(s) assigned to the user, there are additional permissions which may be granted. These options are located at the bottom of the screen.

 

Each Additional Options section heading includes this icon: ManageAPFlowGeneraltabgreencheckmarkicon-mh

If the user should have permission to perform all the options listed under a specific section, click the icon for that section. All the options in that section will be selected.

If the user should have permission to perform some of the options listed under a specific section, you must click the desired options manually.

To remove options, you must manually click each option checkbox individually to remove the checkmark.

Note: A section, including the corresponding icon, will be disabled if the highlighted user does not have permission for the options displaying in that section.

 

General

Allow User Approval Alert

This allows Processors to add an Approval Alert to an invoice.

This permission is user-specific and vault-specific. it is not vendor-specific or APFlow™ role-specific.

Processor Role

Allow Processor Approval

Gives a Processor the permission to approve an invoice without routing it to Reviewers.
If Reviewers are assigned to the invoice, the invoice will be marked Approved for each Reviewer.

An audit note will systematically be added to indicate that the invoice was "approved for xyz reviewer by abc processor".

If a Processor does not have this access, all invoices must be routed to the appropriate Reviewer(s) for approval.

Allow Processor Credit Card Import

Gives a Processor or Supervisor access to the Credit Card Importer.

Only Processors with this security right can import credit card transactions files to add the line items to an invoice that can then be coded and routed for approval and finally exported to their respective accounting systems.

Allow Processor Export

Gives a Processor access to the Export tab in the APFlow™ sidebar.
Click Export on the Invoice Manager screen or click Export Invoices on the APFlow™ Administration sidebar. There is also an Export icon on the Invoice Entry screen.

Only Processors with this security right can export approved invoices to their respective accounting system.

Allow Processor Reset For Edit

This controls whether or not the Reset For Edit button is enabled on the Invoice Manager screen.
 
Note:  Supervisor rights can override.

Allow Processor Override Route Group

Gives a Processor the ability to choose an alternative routing group or to turn off the default routing rules and route an invoice manually.

Allow Processor Delete Invoice

Gives a Processor the ability to delete an invoice that is still in the system and not yet exported.

Allow Processor Add Vendor

This allows Processors to add a vendor into their accounting system from the Invoice Entry screen.

Not all systems support this functionality.

Allow Processor DocRoute™

If selected, the DocRoute™ icon displays on the Invoice Entry toolbar.

If not selected, the DocRoute™ icon is not visible on the Invoice Entry toolbar.
 
Note: This does not turn the DocRoute™ module on or off.

Reviewer Role

Allow Reviewer Multi Select

Allows a Reviewer to select more than one invoice in their queue at a time and approve or take other action on the selected invoices all at once.

If this option is not allowed, the Reviewer must take action on each invoice individually.

Allow Reviewer Change Line Type

Allows a Reviewer to change the line type of an invoice in Approve Invoices.

In Approve Invoices, Reviewers can click the Change Line Type icon, ChangeLineType-lineicon-mh, located on the invoice line needing to be changed.

This feature allows a Reviewer to change any line type to any other available line type.

Allow Reviewer Split Invoice Lines

In Approve Invoices, Reviewers can click the Split Line icon, SplitLine-lineicon-mh, located on the invoice line needing to be split.

Use this function to "break out" invoice line amounts into additional lines than were originally assigned.

The amount of the invoice sent to the Reviewer by the Processor must be allocated fully before any changes can be saved.

Allow Reviewer Invoice Hold

Gives the Reviewer the ability to place an invoice on hold through the Place On Hold icon, PlaceOnHoldicon-mh, located on the Approve Invoices toolbar.

This is based on the bridged system.

Allow Reviewer Reroute Invoice

Enables the Route Invoice icon, RouteInvoiceicon-mh, in Approve Invoices.

Allow Reviewer Edit Invoice

Gives the Reviewer the permission to make changes to an invoice.

This way, the Reviewer always sees the invoice and the Document Match window without having to click on the Document Match icon.

Invoice Routing

Invoice Routing Default Sequence

The number entered here identifies in what sequence the document should be reviewed. This would be the default.

The lowest number gets the invoice first.

Accounting System Mapping

Must be a Reviewer.

Uses the accounting system routing rules option in some accounting systems. (Advanced bridge setting must be set.)

Follows the accounting system routing and displays it in Sage Paperless Construction.

Reviewer Approval Limits

ReviewerApprovalLimit-mh

This identifies a specific Reviewer selected in the associated Lookup Utility.

The number (1 in the example) reflects the arbitrary number that the Reviewer was assigned when originally added to the Reviewer list.

The Reviewer's name displays below the number.

The Sequence number (4 in the example) indicates in what order the Reviewer should see invoices.

Any invoice with a total exceeding the entered dollar amount ($10,000.00 in the example) will systematically be routed to the identified Reviewer.
