Hi,
What would be the difference between these two roles?
Should Accounts Payable staff have Invoice AP user, and business users to code and submit invoices have Invoice Processor?
I am reading from page 29 and 30 of this document online.

@ChristianE To answer your question, I wouldn't say it is correct to have AP Users with the processor role, but it certainly is an option. I think most companies do you have AP Users as the Processors, but technically any user in the system can be given the processor role.
I probably would recommend that AP Users give final approval, so they really only should need the Processor role.
@ChristianE Invoice Processors are usually the last person to review it and give final approval. This isn't always the case if your workflow calls for processors to review before managers for some reason, but this is the easiest way to think of it. Whomever should be giving final approval, should have the processor role.
Invoice AP Users do not do approvals.
I hope this helps. 🙂
@KevinD thanks for your reply Kevin. We are just trying to understand our set up and optimise the accesses. The AP team here are reviewing and approving after an invoice/expense has been approved by the manager.
So if this is the workflow path, is it correct to have AP users with Invoice Processor role?
Can you suggest what the role/s should be assigned to AP given that they are 1. work flowing to business users, then 2. performing final approval after manager approval?
