Checking the approval routing for purchase invoice (PIR) entries

Purchase invoices don't work in the same way as standard purchase requests. You enter the transaction for purchase invoices via Dimensions then in Focalpoint for approval. This transaction then passes back to Dimensions following the approval process.

  1. Click System Options then click Purchasing.

  2. Click Purchase Invoice Register then click the Approval tab.

  3. Ensure the approval type is set to N Level.

  4. Select the stage to view then click Edit.
