Create New Approval Group:


Approval Group ID: This identifier can be alpha-numeric and serves as a system ID for easy reference. It should be succinct: “10”, “DT Br”, “Aqua”, etc.


Description: This field allows you to provide a longer name for the group: “Downtown Branch Management”, “Aquatics personnel”, etc. Any name entered will be included in approval table selection dropdown menus.

Default Account Segments: Depending on your system settings there may be one or two segment selection fields. These optional fields enable you to tie your approval groups to GL account segments. Any segments used, branch, dept, etc., are automatically applied to all users’ conditions in approval tables built for the Approval Group. For example, in the above screenshot, if Branch is set as “10”, when approval tables are established for the Approval Group all users would have a default approval condition of “Branch = 10”.


Sort Order: The order in which the Approval Groups are reviewed when using Non-Stand Alone Approval Table setup. See Non-Stand Alone Approval table setup.
