Use default resource group as approval manager

Use the procedure in this topic to configure AP Agility to use the AP Manager resource group as the approval manager.

You can enable users of the AP Manager resource group to modify documents in the Approval State. The advantage of this method is that you can specify who can modify Approval invoices based on an organization and a business unit.

  5. Launch the Advanced Studio.
  6. Navigate to Resources > Groups.
