To approve several invoices at the same time, batch management can be used in the work queue window.

To use this function, the UseWorkqueueSend parameter must be set to Yes.

On the left side of the invoice list there is a checkbox for each invoice, check the invoices you want to send, invoices with different statuses can be sent at the same time, and select one of the three buttons Approve, Exceptions Review or Not mine that are located under the invoice list.

The checkbox on the header row is used to select all invoices in the queue, for this to be visible, the AllowBatchApproveAll parameter must be set to Yes.

Approve

The invoices go to the next step if the system knows who the addressee is. There are several reasons why an invoice cannot be sent via Batch Management, most often it can be that the system cannot determine who should have the invoice in the next step, but it can also be a problem with the coding or something else. Invoices that cannot be sent will remain in the current queue.

When an invoice cannot be sent via Batch Management, these must be opened separately by clicking on the invoice number.

Exceptions Review

To send one or more invoices to Exceptions Review, these are selected in the list and when you click on the button Exceptions Review, a form opens to enter a message. If several invoices are sent at the same time, the same message is applied to all invoices.

The possibility to send to investigation from the WorkQueue window is available in your Personal queue, Credit Memo and Past Due Invoices.

Not mine

The Not Mine button is used when you have invoices in your queue that have been sent to other users at the same time and you are not going to process them.
