There are five components of the Configuration page for Vic.ai Organization Admins. First and most importantly, this page will modify the current Company selected from the Company Selector.
If your Organization utilizes the Group of Company configuration, this page controls the Configuration for all companies in the group.

The main Configuration sections are:

  • Invoice Fields

  • Expense Line Fields

  • Item Line Fields (POs)

  • Add Vendor Fields with Mapping Table

  • Settings

On the Configuration page you control:

  • Which columns appear

  • Order in which they appear

  • Column Width

  • If a field is Required

  • If a field is Editable

The Settings section controls company-level settings, especially those regarding Vic.ai Approvals.
