2.1.4.8.4. Invoice Type Special Routing and Auto-Approve Invoices

User-defined invoice types have two functions within TimberScan:

1. The first is as a method to classify invoices for special handling.

An example of this are invoices submitted for rush payment. Creating a Rush Invoice “invoice type” will allow invoices so designated to be selected during data entry, approval or final review, thereby bypassing all other invoices that may be in the respective queues. Invoice types can be assigned at any stage during the Acquire, Data Entry or Approval processes, but in order to be able to do so, the user must have been granted Chg Type permission in User Maintenance.

2.The second function of invoice types is as method to route invoices that takes precedence over all routing rules.

In order to route by invoice type

Invoice Type must be selected in Routing Settings and

Invoice type must be assigned to an approval group using the Approval Group Members function after having been defined.

Two categories of this feature will be covered; Auto Approve Invoices and Manual Routed Invoices.
