This page documents the Centara additions to the standard Business Central Approval User Setup. Standard BC fields (Approver ID, Sales/Purchase Amount Approval Limits, etc.) are documented on Microsoft Learn — start there for anything not listed below.
The Centara eMessaging extension adds four fields per user that fine-tune how the Centara approval workflow treats this approver.
Centara eMessaging additions
| Field | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Manager | The user that acts as this user’s approval manager. Used as the four-eyes fallback when the per-document four-eyes approver is empty and the Use Approval User Manager flag is set on the matching posting template. |
| Approve Line w/out Confirm | When enabled, purchase document lines that this user approves are approved without an extra confirmation dialog. Useful for high-volume approvers who don’t need a click-through per line. |
| Hide Prices | Hides prices on purchase documents shown to this user. Use for approvers who should authorise based on the business case but who are not authorised to see pricing. |
| Allow Substitute Approve | When enabled, the substitute user defined in the standard Substitute field is allowed to approve documents on this user’s behalf. Without this flag, the substitute can act in BC but cannot complete an approval. |
