Once all the settings are properly defined and the user has confidence in the configured rules the audit rules engine is ready to be switched on. This is done on the Expense Audit Settings screen.
On the General tab, click the Expense Audit Rules Enable checkbox.
When the audit engine is enabled, the user is presented with 2 options:
Process All Dates: When ticked, the audit rules engine will start to process all expenses that have not been processed in the audit rules engine. These expenses will be on vouchers defined by the Voucher Status on the Expense Audit Settings screen. Warning: Selecting this triggers a full scan of all expenses to be audited. The volume could potentially be large and therefore may lead to some constraints in performance.
Batch Start Date: This field is mandatory when the Process All Dates checkbox is not selected. By default, when the engine is enabled it will set the current date but this can be changed. This date will define what is the earliest expense creation date in which expenses will be considered to be processed in the engine.
Once
has been clicked, the audit rules engine will be enabled and expenses that fall into the saved criteria will be assessed.
