About APAUTHOR

The Authority Code file contains authority codes. Authority codes are required for companies that have Yes selected in the Invoice Approval Option field and No selected in the Batch Release Option field. An authority code must be assigned to a registered invoice before the invoice can be released. Authority codes can also be used for a company that has Yes selected in both invoice entry option fields, but an authority code is not required for release in this case.
