Multiple levels of approval for a document based on value or other factors
Approval hierarchy can be derived from any data & approval limits
Approval limits can be set
Delegated approval can be given for when approvers are absent
Emails can be sent at any stage of the process
If… Else scenarios can be implemented i.e. a document coded to the balance sheet could have a different approval process to that of a trading transaction
Any action as a result of the workflow can be logged for auditing purposes
Actions with timings on stages – i.e. delayed approvals
Graphical interface
Purchase Order Workflow example:
The scanning application is able to read the barcode set on the first page of every document and understand that the next barcode will identify the beginning of the next document. This means that multiple documents can be input in batches.
Document Barcode, Scanning & Attachments
Receive electronic copies of external documents such as Purchase Invoiceswith the PSF Barcode & Document Scanning application. With the EmailingSuite, you can attach internally produced documents, assign barcodes and scandocuments effortlessly into PS Financials.
Documents created with a PSF barcode specify the details of the document within the barcode itself. For data input, you scan the documents into PSF, the module then automatically assigns the data to the correct account lines and stores it in the system.
