As for my knowledge there is no need to have another responsibility for accessing the Invoice Bathc and Invoice work bench. For accessing the Invoice Batch , First you have to enable "Use Invoice Batch Control" Checck Box which is available in Invocie Tab in Payable Option. Next you have to assign the Profile option for Payble responsbility the same are using , "AP Invoice Batch" Option as Yes.

After this you can use Invoice Batches.

Otherwise if you want you Invoice work bench , in Profile Option select
"AP Invoice Batch" Option as NO.

if any wrong please navigate me.

thanks and regards,
Murthyoracle.

What Murthy said is right...by default in AP functionality has Invoice Batch.

If your client requires Invoice Batch then you need set Profile option "Use Invoice Batch Control" to Yes and
"AP Invoice Batch" Option as NO.

I THINK I COULD NOT LET YOU UNDERSTAND MY QUESTION

LET ME EXPLAIN HERE AGAIN

First question is (i know invoice batch can be used from Use Invoice batch profile option)

question is CANT we use both the funtions One is invoice batches and the other is invoice work bench to enter new invoices in one Responsibility say AP MANAGER. I want he should be having both the ways to process the entry of his invoices IF I CLICK YES TO INVOICE BATCH i can not use invoice work bench (11.5.10) (and further i dont see any payable option where it is given use invoice batch check box which we click to check as my buddy replied as above)

if No then y if YES then how?

Hi,

It is not possible to use both the things at the same time. If u enable Invoice Batch profile option U have to enter the invoice through batch format n the invoice workbench helps to search for the invoice.

Currently my client is using the same option i.e., Invoice Batch Option

hi,

if you use invoice batches then u can not create the single invoice from invoice work bench, that is thru the batch only you can create the invoices


And the other thing is that even if you change from invoice batches to invoice workbecnh there wont be any wrong implication.


The main purpose of the batch is to minimise the end user work in validating the invoices and for create a/c ing and same can be done by using the progm as well.

Just assign Profile option in Sys admin for Particular Payable Responsibility i.e " AP: Use Invoice Batch Control".

After you assigning the said profile option, you can use Invoice Batch only.
