Configure Vendor Approver Settings

Use this screen to enter the approver ID and name of each employee who is authorized to approve vendors.

This screen is part of the Vendor Approval feature. The Vendor Approval feature implements the segregation in your organization of employees authorized to create vendor records from employees authorized to approve vendors. It also creates an audit trail each time that a user saves changes. Your organization's internal accounting operations procedures and internal documentation could require the use of segregation, an audit trail, or both, to ensure compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

You must set up the approver ID of authorized users on this screen before you can use the Approve Vendors screen. If you do not set up an authorized user on this screen, you cannot make changes on the Approve Vendors screen.
