Issues

Processor - Issue Configuration

This is reflected in the Issues pane similar to the following:

If the Processor checks a listed issue, and the Administrator identified this issue requires resolution before the invoice can be approved, the Must Resolve button will display with a checkmark. The Reviewer is required to handle the issue (in this example Attach PO) and then manually click Resolved. The No in the Resolved column will systematically change to Yes.

 

Reviewers can check off invoice issues listed in the Issues pane of the Invoice Entry sidebar, at any point in the route process.

 

Issues displaying in red font indicate that the Reviewer must resolve the issue and manually click Resolved before an invoice can be approved.

Issues displaying in black font indicate that the issue is for informational purposes only and will not delay the approval process.
