Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

Click Accounts payable > Journals > Invoices > Invoice approval journal. Click Lines.

Use this form to post vendor invoices that are approved to the appropriate ledger accounts. The actual balance in the journal is reflected in the Journal and Per voucher fields.

The invoices that you can enter in this journal originated in the Invoice register journal.

Note

Use the Invoices not approved report to view the invoices that are ready for approval. (Click Accounts payable > Reports > Status > Invoices not approved.)

Example

A worker has entered and posted vendor invoices in the Invoice register form. The amounts are automatically posted to the Arrival and Offset account ledger accounts that are defined in the Vendor posting profiles form. The worker gives the physical invoices to the worker whose ID is displayed in the Approved by field. That worker approves the physical invoices with a stamp or a signature, and then forwards them to the accounting department.

Note

If approval is delayed, the Invoices not approved report can be printed to remind the approver about the invoices that are awaiting approval.

An accounting worker enters the invoices in the Invoice approval journal form, adds appropriate information, and posts the invoices. The amounts are cleared from the temporary ledger accounts and are posted to the appropriate ledger accounts. The vendor invoices can then be settled.
