Printing checks before approval? Not sure why we were able to do this?

Hi,

Our ward clerk was able to create a fast offering expenditure expense and then immediately print checks. After printing, the expense shows up in the expense summary tab with the ward clerk as both approvers (see attached image).

This seems weird to us. We thought that another, different person had to approve the expense (even for a fast offering check), before the check could be printed? Are other people finding that the system lets you continue with printing checks with the same person acting as both approvers?

Thank you~

Is this because documentation wasn't attached?

Yes, this happens if you don't attach documentation. The check signers are responsible for reviewing the paper documentation before signing. Personally, I wish the check prominently indicated this in the upper section so that the signer knows it hasn't already been approved and they need to review the documentation. I submitted feedback on this a few years back but I'd encourage others too as well if they feel similarly.
