Invoice permissions
This permission Authorizes users to
CreateInvoice

Use the Invoice link on the Home page or on the Create a New Request screen to manually create an invoice. Use the Invoice command (when exploring contracts) to create an invoice for a contract that can be invoiced against and that does not require releases. This permission applies only in configurations using Ariba Invoice and Ariba Contract Compliance.

In the default configuration, this permission is not assigned to any roles; it must be explicitly assigned to non-supplier users if they need to create invoices against contracts. For example, it might be assigned to the Invoice Manager role.

When suppliers punch in to Ariba Buyer through the Ariba Buyer PunchIn site, they are automatically assigned this permission.

CreateInvoiceEform Create invoice eForms. This permission only applies in configurations of Ariba Buyer that have installed the invoice eForm sample feature. In the default configuration, this permission is not assigned to any roles. However, when you install the invoice eForm sample feature, this permission is assigned to the role Invoice Manager.
ForcePayInvoiceReconciliation

Use the Force Pay command to force an IR document from the status of Paying or Failed Paying to Paid. Use this permission only when payment for an invoice is being handled outside of Ariba Buyer. For example, if the method your company uses to send payment to suppliers fails and another method is used, users with this permission can manually change the status to Paid.

ForceRejectInvoiceReconciliation Use the Force Reject command to force an Invoice Reconciliation (IR) document from the status of Rejecting or Failed Rejecting to Rejected.
ForceSendPayment

Use the Force Send command to manually change the status of a payment request from Sending to the next appropriate status. This permission is also used by Ariba Settlement.

InvoiceAdministrator

Take corrective action if the status of an invoice and the associated IR document become stalled at any stage of the reconciliation process. By default, users with this permission are authorized to use the Force Pay and Force Reject commands.

InvoiceLoaderEmail

Receive email notification messages when there are problems loading invoices from a CSV file. (Notification 57)

InvoiceManager

Manage the business process administration of invoice approvable documents. In the default configuration, the InvoiceManager permission is used to:

  • Allow users to edit line items on invoice reconciliation approvable documents.
  • Allow users to access invoicing reports.
  • Allow users to search for invoicing approvables.
  • Determine when to display the Invoices link in the Reconcile section of the Navigation Panel in a more prominent position.
InvoiceRejectionEmail

Receive email notification messages whenever an IR document reaches the status of Rejected. This permission is useful for resolving issues that arise when an IR document is rejected by a reconciler or approver. (Notification 51)

PaymentAdministrator Perform payment administration tasks. This permission is also used by Ariba Settlement.
PaymentManager

Perform system administration and error handling for documents related to payment and settlement. For example, only users with this permission can run queries and reports on payment requests and payment transactions. Users also receive Notification 92 (Notification of Remittance CSV Import Error) when the scheduled task RemittanceCSVImportLoader fails to load a data file successfully. This permission is also used by Ariba Settlement.

PaymentSendingEmail This permission is not currently used.
ReconcileAll InvoiceExceptions Reconcile any exceptions on an IR document, regardless of the exception type.
