This guide has been reviewed against our global client base and classed as relevant to all regions

A configuration option is available which requires newly entered supplier and/or bank details to gain approval from authorised user(s) before they can be used

The number of approvals required for suppliers and bank details is configurable - one/both can be enabled and a different number of approvers can be set for each option

The ability to approve supplier details and/or bank details is a security configuration option - therefore a user must have this in order to approve supplier/bank details - if more than one approval is required, this needs to be done by individual authorised users

To enable this configuration option, click here to contact Reapit Support

When your system is set-up to require approval for suppliers and/or bank details and a new supplier/bank is added, the supplier/bank is automatically classed as Unapproved

This guide covers how to:
