Editing a line

If you are allowed to edit the line, pencil buttons appear next to No., Description (editable) and the dimension values.

  1. Click the pencil.
  2. Choose a new value or write a new description (max 100 characters).
  3. The change is saved immediately in Business Central.

When can you edit?

You can only edit a line that has not already been approved or released, and where you are the approver of the line (or of the invoice, if the line has no separate approver group).

Line approvals

Rue de Net Approvals can send individual lines of an invoice for approval instead of the whole invoice. This is useful when different departments are responsible for different items on the same invoice.

If any line of the invoice awaits your approval, an action bar appears above the line table:

Button Description
Checkbox Selects all lines you are allowed to handle.
Approve Selected Approves the selected lines.
Decline Selected Rejects the selected lines.

Tick the checkbox in front of each line you want to handle and click the appropriate button. Approved lines are highlighted in the table.

See also Line approvals in the Approvals documentation.
