2.1 Approve and Forward action is now supported in Edge

Module(s): Invoice Automation
Feature ID: ALUSTA-3442
Release: P2P 16.7
Feature Implementation: Feature is in use automatically

Edge Invoice now supports the Approve and Forward action, where the user can both approve the invoice and forward it to another user at the same time. This feature is only in use if it is allowed in the configuration.

When the next approver is resolved automatically and adding a comment for the approval is not mandatory, the user is only asked for a recipient to forward the task to and an optional comment for forwarding. If the next approver is not found automatically and/or the comment for approval is mandatory, the user can define those as well.

Earlier there were rare cases which caused some invoices to get stuck in the SaaS environment. Then, normal recovery tasks could not recover the invoices. Now, recovery tasks in P2P Admin have been enhanced by adding a way to force the recovery of an invoice. With the new parameters ForceInvoiceId and RecoveryMode, a consultant can force an invoice to be either canceled or completed. The new parameters are added to Transfer, Prebook, and anyERP recovery tasks.

3.4 Budget excess as a warning or an error

Module(s): Purchase
Feature ID: ALUSTA-11385
Release: P2P 16.7
Feature Implementation: Feature is in use automatically

The P2P budgets now have an additional attribute which determines how the excess of a budget is handled in the Purchase process. This attribute is set per budget, and by default makes the exceeding of a budget to result in an error. By setting the Enforcing attribute, the system will issue only a warning instead of an error when a budget is exceeded, thus allowing the purchase process to continue also in the case of an exceeded budget.
