Bill upload for restricted users

AP automation has been extended to allow more companies to automate their bill entry. Now, users who are restricted by entity or department can upload bills from the Bills list. Previously, the Upload option was not available for restricted users.

Details

Entity restrictions

Users with entity restrictions can upload bills at the entity level, in those entities to which they are restricted.

Department restrictions

Users with departmental restrictions and no entity restrictions can upload bills at the top level or the entity level. Those users with departmental and entity restrictions can upload bills in those entities to which they are restricted.

AP Automation refers to the previous bill from the vendor to provide dimensions for line items. For example, if the line 2 in the most recent bill from the vendor was coded to the Sales department, then line 2 of the new draft bill is also coded to Sales.

For users with departmental restrictions, departmental coding for uploaded bills is copied from the previous bill as long as the user's restrictions include that department. In this example, line 2 of the draft bill is set to Sales if the user who uploaded the bill is allowed to enter transactions for the Sales department. If the users is not allowed, then the department field is left blank for that line.
