Additional Approval Codes are special codes used when you need additional codes along with GL codes for your accounting system. For example, you need to have a project code or an additional code associated with a GL code or a code for a CapEX.

Additional approval codes can appear on the Work Order Details page and on the Invoices Details page and can be managed by you.

Contact your ServiceChannel Manager to make additional approval codes appear on the Invoice Details page.

You can add, delete, and edit additional approval codes for the invoice in general and on the line items level on the Invoice Details page in line with your needs.

Editing Additional Approval Codes

Configure additional approval codes in the Admin module to be able to edit additional approval codes.

When configured in the Admin module, additional approval codes (AAC) appear on work orders and invoices. Sometimes it may be required to update the current additional approval code.

You can edit AACs in two ways:

Editing Additional Approval Codes from the Invoices List

⦿ How to Edit Additional Approval Codes from the Invoices List

Open ServiceChannel.com > Invoices.
On the list that appears, choose the needed invoice.
Under the Actions button, click on the GL code.
The Edit Approval Code window opens.
Under the Category field, click on the desired additional approval code(s) that you configured in the Admin module.

If you use identical Additional Approval Code (AAC) names with the same values across different categories, the selected or entered value will remain the same when you switch between these categories. However, you can manually edit this value in the text field if necessary.
For example, if you change an invoice from the MAINTENANCE category to the REPAIR category, and both categories use an AAC named "INTERNAL WORK" with the value "6746-1," this value will be retained.
Depending on the configuration, you can select a code from the drop-down list or manually enter it.

Contact your ServiceChannel manager to be able to configure drop-down lists for additional approval codes.
Click Save.
The additional approval codes have been updated.

Editing Additional Approval Codes on the Line Item Level

⦿ How to Edit Additional Approval Codes on the Line Item Level
