Notes:
- Invoice approvals in Billing is an optional configuration item. If your college doesn’t have invoice approvals enabled, this step in the overall process will be skipped. Also, colleges that have enabled invoice approvals may have enabled it only for credit (negative amount) invoices. In this situation, debit (positive amount) invoices would also skip this step when processed.
- The example below shows a credit invoice that’s starting in a NEW (New Bill) status being submitted for approval through the Express Billing screen.
