To automatically approve a group of invoices:

  1. Click the invoice checkboxes checked radio box to select the invoices you wish to approve.
  2. Click Approve Checked.

The Amount column displays the current amount of the invoice in its original currency type, whether or not it has been approved.

The Pending Approval page includes the following icons within the table:

  • !—Invoice has been rejected
  • body icon—Invoice is waiting on invoice handler action

The Pending Approval page includes the following tabs at the top:

  • My Pending—Displays all invoices that require your approval. The Hand-Off column specifies when you are the final approver for the invoice or the person who will approve the invoice after your approval.
  • 1st—Displays all invoices for which you are the first approver.
  • 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th—Displays all invoices for the specified order in the approval chain. For example, the invoices in the 2nd tab are the invoices for which you are the second approver. Instead of a Hand-Off column, these pages have a From-To column, which specifies that you are the final approver or there is a person on the approval chain after you.  If you are the final reviewer, the From-To column displays the text Final Approver. If not, it displays the name of the final approver.

The yellow/gray dots seen in the screenshot below signify the amount of approvers in positions above you, and whether they have reviewed the invoice.

  • gray target icon—Not reviewed
  • yellow target—Reviewed but has not taken action
  • green circle target icon—Reviewed and approved
  • red circle target icon—Reviewed and rejected

  • All Pending—Displays all pending invoices, regardless of assignment or status. This table categorized invoices by invoice name/number, invoice creation date, submitting firm, and all approvers with their assigned position. Based on your List Options, there may be multiple pages of pending invoices. Navigate through the pending invoice pages by using the page numbers at the top of the table.
