Internal Approval

Field Description
Approved

If digital signature does not apply to the invoice, this check box is enabled and you can select it to internally approve the invoice. After you have approved the invoice and saved the record, you will be able to clear this check box (withdraw the approval) only if the supplier has not yet approved the invoice.

If digital signature is applied to the invoice, this check box is disabled and the Sign drop-down list becomes available on the application toolbar. All options in this list are active if digital signature is on, the invoice is a digital signature document, and you are using a Fast ID Online (FIDO) device. You can select from the following options:

  • Sign: Select this option to digitally sign the invoice. Once selected, Costpoint displays a disclosure agreement that you need to acknowledge. After you accepted the disclosure agreement, Costpoint asks you to confirm the displayed data. Upon confirmation, the system saves the invoice data with the digital signature, and the Approved check box will automatically be selected but still disabled.
  • Verify: Select this option to view differences between what was last signed and what is on the screen. This option can be used only on invoices that were signed by either the internal approver or the supplier, but not both.
  • Info: Select this option to view the last information that was digitally signed.
  • Unsign: Select this option to withdraw approval of a previously signed invoice. The Approved check box becomes cleared when you select this option.
Note: Digital document types and links must be set up correctly on the Manage Digital Document Types and Manage Digital Document Links screens, respectively. If you have the correct document types but have not set up digital signature links for the Approve Subcontractor Invoices application in Manage Digital Document Links, Costpoint displays an error message when you try to digitally sign an invoice.
Approver After the invoice is digitally approved or the Approved check box is selected, this field automatically loads the approver name, which is the user ID of the person using this screen.
Date/Time After the invoice is digitally approved or the Approved check box is selected, this field automatically loads the current date and time.
Notes Enter any notes regarding the invoice approval. This field remains editable even after you digitally signed the invoice (but not yet signed by the supplier) to allow communication between you and the supplier.

Supplier Approval

All fields in this group box are disabled if you are licensed for Supplier Portal since suppliers can approve invoices via the portal. If the supplier has already approved the invoice, the Approved check box is automatically selected, and all the other fields are populated with information from the supplier.

If you are not licensed for Supplier Portal, complete these fields.

Default Receiving Info

You can enter values in the fields in this group box only if Costpoint cannot auto-assign the packing slip or receipt ID.

The default packing slip is determined using the following:

  • If a default packing slip is provided by the user on the header of the invoice, Costpoint uses that value for creating the receiving information.
  • If a default packing slip is not provided by the user on the header of the invoice, and the Require Packing Slip and Auto-Assign Packing Slip Numbers check boxes are selected on the Configure Receiving Settings screen, Costpoint defaults the packing slip based on the auto-assign packing slips option selected on the Configure Receiving Settings screen:
  • PO Voucher Number: The receipts created will have the Packing Slip field auto-assigned with a value equal to the PO voucher number.
  • Subcontractor Invoice Number: The receipts created will have the Packing Slip field auto-assigned with a value equal to the subcontractor invoice number on the PO voucher.
  • Last Packing Slip No: Costpoint automatically assigns the next packing slip to the voucher (Last Packing Slip No + 1) based on the Last Packing Slip No in Configure Receiving Settings. If that number has already been used (for example, when manually added), Costpoint retrieves the next number. The Last Packing Slip No in Configure Receiving Settings is also updated with the new value.
Note: If the Auto-Assign Packing Slip Numbers check box is cleared in Configure Receiving settings and you do not manually add a default packing slip when approving an invoice that contains a three-way match PO line, an error will occur.

The default receipt ID is determined using the following:

  • If a default receipt ID is provided by the user on the header of the invoice, Costpoint uses that value for creating the receiving information.
  • If a default receipt ID is not provided by the user on the header of the invoice, and the Auto-Assign Receipt IDs check box is selected on the Configure Receiving Settings screen, Costpoint defaults the receipt ID based on the auto-assign receipt ID option selected on the Configure Receiving Settings screen:
    • PO Voucher Number: The receipts created will have the Receipt ID field auto-assigned with a value equal to the PO voucher number.
    • Subcontractor Invoice Number: The receipts created will have the Receipt ID field auto-assigned with a value equal to the subcontractor invoice number on the PO voucher.
    • Last PO Receipt ID: Costpoint automatically assigns the next receipt ID to the voucher (Last PO Receipt ID + 1) based on the Last PO Receipt ID in Configure Receiving Settings. If that number has already been used (for example, when manually added), Costpoint retrieves the next number. The Last PO Receipt ID in Configure Receiving Settings is also updated with the new value.

If the Auto-Assign Receipt IDs check box is cleared in Configure Receiving settings and you do not manually add a default receipt ID when approving an invoice that contains a three-way match PO line, an error will occur.

Note: All fields on this group box must have a value before you can internally approve the invoice.
