How to Override Purchasing Approvals in Sage Intacct

If someone who's an approver in the Purchasing module is unexpectedly absent from work and you are the delegate, you will get any new Purchasing documents to approve. But if you need to approve documents that have already been sent and you're not an unrestricted user, you can override the approval process with these three steps.

3 Steps for Overriding a Purchase Approval

#1. Make yourself the Unrestricted Approver

1. Navigate to Purchasing > Setup > Configuration.
2. Under the "Approval" section, make yourself the Unrestricted Approver.
3. Click Save.

#2. Approve the Transactions

1. Navigate to Purchasing > All > Approve transactions. Depending on how you are configured, you can do this either from the Top Level and include Private or for the Entity.
2. Approve the needed Transactions.

#3. Put the Unrestricted Approver Back

1. Navigate to Purchasing > Setup > Configuration.
2. Under the "Approval" section, change the Unrestricted Approver to the original approver.
3. Click Save.
