Set up a Super Authoriser

Users with the Super Authoriser permission can view and authorise all purchase orders and requisitions, regardless of the authorisation rules.

It is useful to set up at least one Super Authoriser. This allows orders or requisitions to be authorised, even when the normal authoriser is absent.

Once a Super Authoriser has authorised a purchase order, no other authorisation is required. This applies even when the purchase order is covered by more than one rule group, or requires additional authorisation by a project manager.

You create a Super Authoriser by creating a role in System Administration and authorising this role for the Purchase Order Super Authoriser Permission feature. For example, to set a single Sage 200 user as a Super Authoriser, such as the Finance Director, create a role with the relevant Sage 200 user as the only member.

To set up a Super Authoriser

Open: System Administration.

1. From the Navigation Area, choose Features.
2. Select the feature group folder Purchase Order Processing > Administration.
3. Right-click Purchase Order Super Authoriser Permission and select Role Authorisation.
4. Select the roles to authorise for this feature. All users in the selected role will have Super Authoriser permission.
