Workflow routing is initiated by calling the Virtual Router routine that performs the needed action. • You can access the Voucher Approval page from your worklists, manually inspect the voucher information, and either approve or reject a voucher for payment. • When you enter the Voucher Approval component, the voucher is typically presented in a pending status—payment has not been approved or denied
