Assigning Custom Roles for Consolidated Electronic Invoicing

If you have the Administrator role, you can consolidate e-invoices by default. If not, then you can assign custom roles so users can use consolidated invoicing. You must assign custom roles with the right permissions to enable access.

You can customize the Accountant role to assign all required permissions and enable the required access.

Important:

You can't use the consolidated electronic invoicing feature if:

  • The Multiple Currencies feature is not enabled in your accounts. In this case, only users with the Administrator role can use this feature. For more information about enabling Multiple Currencies feature, see Enabling the Multiple Currencies Feature.

  • The Multiple Currencies feature is enabled in your account, but the Currency permission is not setup on the Role page.

You must enable the Currency permission on the Role page to use the consolidated electronic invoicing.

To enable the Currency permission on Role page:

  1. Go to Setup > Users/Roles > Manage Roles.

  2. On the Permissions subtab, click the Lists subtab.

  3. In the Permissions column, select the Currency permission and click Add.

  4. In the Level column, select the required permission level and click Save.

Note:

E-document generation displays an error if the transaction is in a foreign currency, the base currency isn’t MYR, and the Malaysia Exchange Rate field value is missing.

You can check the audit trail to find the missing exchange rate. You must enter the value manually if Multiple Currencies feature is not enabled or if Currency permission isn’t added.

If Multiple Currencies feature is enabled and Currency permission is added, the field value is automatically filled.

To use the consolidated invoicing with custom roles, assign the following permissions and access levels. For more information about setting the following permissions, see Setting Permissions.
