Transaction Approval Tasks

Your practice can use the Transaction Approval feature to control when payments, adjustments and refunds get posted. When Transaction Approval is being used, users cannot post transactions that exceed a specified dollar amount without first obtaining an approval from a manager or supervisor. Approval of transactions is managed through Worklog tasks. Managers, or any person designated as an approver, can log in to NextGen® Enterprise PM and check the list of tasks awaiting their approval in the Worklog. Users awaiting approval can check the status of their assigned tasks in the Worklog to see if an approval has been granted. You can configure the system to send an email to a user when a transaction task awaiting approval has been granted (or denied) approval.
