| # Purchase invoice authorization In the Accounts Payable module, you can use the following types of invoice authorization to release the purchase invoice for further processing: Confirmation of received purchase invoices If you record the receipt in the Received Purchase Invoices (tfacp1500m000) session, you can link assigned approvers to the invoice. The assigned approver can verify the invoice, and then register the invoice. For details, refer to Confirmation of received purchase invoices. Authorization of registered invoices To exclude invoices from the automatic payment procedure, if you register an invoice in the Purchase Invoices (tfacp1110s000) session, you can link a hold reason to the invoice. For example, reasons for blocking an invoice can be incorrect quantities, incorrect prices, or defects found in the received goods. To release the invoice for further processing, an assigned approver must remove the hold reason. For details, refer to Authorization of registered invoices. Authorization of price differences and additional costs If the invoice amount differs from the order amount and the difference exceeds the matching tolerances, an authorized user must approve the price difference and the additional cost. For details, refer to Authorization of price differences and additional costs. Authorization for payment For the types of invoices for which payment authorization is required, an authorized user must approve the invoices for payment. For details, refer to Payment authorization in Accounts Payable. In addition, in the Cash Management module, you can authorize users to process the payments and approve the payment batch. For details, refer to Payment authorization in Cash Management Print a report You can use the Print Not Fully Approved Invoices (tfacp1402m000) session to print a report of the invoices that require an action by the assigned approver or authorized user before they can be processed further.
