Which billing actions need approval

  • Director
  • Admin
  • Finance
  • Needs: Billing
  • May need approval
  • Phone
  • Desktop
  • Draft

Four billing actions can be held for approval. Each is set per staff member in their permissions.

Steps​

  1. Check the action and the permission it needs:
    • Refund: Issue Refunds. Approval switch: its Requires approval.
    • Delete, write-off, credit memo: Delete/Write-Off Invoices, with its Requires approval.
    • Add credit (including duplicate-invoice credits): Add Credits, with its Requires approval (on by default for Directors).
    • ACH unlock: anyone with Billing can ask; it runs at once only for people with Unlock ACH.
  2. Work out what happens when you act:
    • Holding Approve Billing Requests means your own actions run right away.
    • Otherwise, with Requires approval on, the action becomes a request and you see Sent for Approval.
    • With it off, the action runs right away.
  3. Work out who can approve. Approvers hold Approve Billing Requests plus the action's permission. ACH unlocks only need Unlock ACH.

Tips​

  • Anyone listed can approve; tap Tap to view Approvers > on the request to see them.
  • Returning credit to the Credit Bank, recording payments and applying credit never need approval.
  • Permissions are set on each staff member's profile under School Management.
