    Configuring Invoice Review Rules

    Translatable
    To configure invoice review rules, you must have the following role:
    • Acquisitions Administrator
    • General System Administrator
    Invoice review rules determine whether invoices are sent for manual review. See Reviewing Invoices. The rules apply to automatically created invoices that have passed an initial validation but have generated an alert. The rules apply to all libraries in the institution.
    You configure invoice review rules on the Invoice Review Rules rules table (Configuration Menu > Acquisitions > Invoices > Invoice Review Rules). For more information about rules tables, see Rules Tables.

    The default rule has no configuration parameters and can only be set to True or False, as follows:
    • True – Send for review.
    • False – Don’t send for review and proceed to approval. This is the default.
    Add or edit rules on the Invoice Review Rules page (select Add Rule or select Edit in the row actions list).
