In November 2023, the posting screen in Basecone for Twinfield companies has been completely revamped. Since this screen is our most important and most used screen, we explain below what has changed and how you can use the screen in the best way.
With the new booking screen you save even more time due to a logical structure that is consistent with the previously released screens such as the validation overview and the authorization overview.
📌Note: Activate the role accountant or SME accountant to get access to the posting screen.

2. Assigning authorizers (after posting).
Click on "Choose authorizers" and add an authorization flow or up to 3 authorizers. This refers to the authorization flow after posting.
Via Settings > Administrations > Actions (Edit) > Workflow it is possible to add authorization flows and to assign one standard authorization flow (workflow). It is also possible to automatically assign authorisers by using filters, based on supplier and/or amount. Click the Specifications tab to make authorization after posting mandatory.

6. Delete, reject and save
These buttons are more clearly visible and moved to the right bottom of the screen.
