28 Receipt Batch Approvals Mobile Applications

This chapter discusses these topics:


Important Note:

Before using the mobile applications, Oracle strongly recommends that users have a complete understanding of how to use the associated processes and applications in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne base software.

For additional information about the processes and applications associated with the mobile applications discussed in this chapter, see:

  • "Working with Batches" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Financial Management Fundamentals Implementation Guide.


28.1 Receipt Batch Approvals Mobile Applications Overview

You use the Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications to review and approve batches of receipts on a mobile device.

The Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications give you the ability to:

  • Review all receipt batches that are in pending status.

  • Review receipts in a batch.

  • Review line-level information for a receipt.

  • Approve a receipt batch.

  • Review text and photos attachments associated with each receipt.

This table lists the applications that are available to review and approve receipt batches:

Type of Application Additional Information
Base EnterpriseOne application Use the Work With Batches program (P0011) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system to review and approve receipt batches.
Tablet application Receipt Batch Approvals (M03B01)

To download the application to your tablet, search on the following text in the application store:

  • JD Edwards Receipt Batch Approvals

Smartphone application Receipt Batch Approvals (M03B02)

To download the application to your smartphone, search on the following text in the application store:

  • JD Edwards Receipt Batch Approvals


Before using the Receipt Batch Approvals tablet or smartphone application, you must perform the following setup tasks:

  • Activate batch security, and set up secured users and approvers.

  • Set up the processing options for the mobile applications.

  • Verify the processing options for the base EnterpriseOne application.

28.1.1 Differences and Limitations: Receipt Batch Approvals

Mobile applications are intended to be a simplified version of the applications that are available in the base software. In most cases, these applications provide a subset of the functionality available in the base software.

Batches Available for Review

The Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications are set up to process and display only those receipt batches that are in pending status. However, in the base EnterpriseOne application, you can review batches of any status.

Revising Batch Information and Batch Status

Using the Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications, you can review batches of receipts, and details of the receipts. You cannot revise existing receipt information or add receipts to a batch. However, in the base EnterpriseOne system, you can review and revise transaction details for a receipt and also add receipts to a receipt batch.

The Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications do not provide the option of reverting the status of a batch from approved to pending. However, in the base EnterpriseOne application, you can revert the status of a batch from approved to pending if a batch needs further analysis.

Text and Image Attachment Functionality

Using the Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications, you can review text and image attachments associated with receipts. You cannot revise existing attachments or add new attachments. However, in the base EnterpriseOne system, you can review and revise existing attachments, and also add new attachments.

28.2 Setting Up the Receipt Batch Approvals Mobile Applications

Before you use the Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications (M03B01 and M03B02), you must complete the following setup:

  • Activate batch security and set up secured users and approved users.

    Secured users can only review batch information and are restricted from approving batches. Approved users can review and approve batches for secured users.

    See "Setting Up Approved and Secured Users" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Financial Management Fundamentals Implementation Guide

  • Set up the processing options for the Receipt Batch Approvals mobile applications (M03B01 and M03B02) in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne system.

  • Verify that the version of P0011 that you specify in the processing options of the tablet and smartphone applications is set up with the appropriate value in the Batch Type processing options. The P0011 program must include the receipt batch type for these mobile applications to function properly.

    See "Setting Processing Options for Batches (P0011)" in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Financial Management Fundamentals Implementation Guide
