System Variable 829: Allow to Force Approval of Vouchers

Use this System Variable to determine if the forced approval of creditor invoices should be allowed.

This System Variable is disabled by default. When it is enabled, finance users can overrule the approval flow of a creditor invoice and force it through to booking. The Force approve voucher! icon is added to Finance & Administration > Creditors > Creditor Invoices, which can be used to force approve a creditor invoice. This System Variable is useful when the approver of a creditor invoice is unresponsive or not available.

When force approving an invoice, a reason should be added as a comment to the approval log. WorkBook also logs who overruled the approver and sends a notification to the approver that the creditor invoice was forced approved.

Note: Force approval can be used only to bypass the approval flow and not the usual invoice requirements. An example would be mandatory information like the job on project entries or the finance account on operating entries.
