Invoicing & Payments 

A new Financial Control form is available in the Setup section of the Financials module in VIP (requires CFGEnableFinancialControlInVIP config flag enabled).
This allows definition of Financial Control (Invoice Approval/Posting) rules for specific invoices (by choosing a specific invoice type) or for broader categories (by choosing All, All AR, or All AP invoice types).

This is a similar form to the Invoice Approvals Restrictions form that Enterprise IMOS has, but with the additional "# of Approvals" setting per row (requires CFGEnableFinancialControlBasedApprovals config flag enabled). This allows indicating that invoices that meet all the specific rule's criteria, require a specific number of approvals.

In addition, when CFGExtendApprovalRightsToFinancials config flag is enabled - same Financial Control rules specified in a new form for invoice approvals - will be applied when posting an invoice.

Config flag: CFGEnableFinancialControlBasedApprovals
Description: When enabled, number of approvals required for a specific invoice will be calculated based on Financial Control setup and "approvals by type" access rights (if config option CFGInvoiceApprovalsByType is enabled). If Financial Control setup disallows invoice approval for a specific invoice - user will be prompted. If config option is not enabled - VIP will use current logic for invoice approvals.
Default Value: N
Hidden: N

Config flag: CFGEnableFinancialControlInVIP
