Summarize a record by using Now Assist for Accounts Payable Operations (APO)

Summarize invoice and inquiry cases to learn about their status, progress, and action items by using the record summarization skill in the Now Assist for Accounts Payable Operations (APO) application.

Before you begin

Important:

The invoice case summarization skill is now turned on by default. The skill will be automatically available to appropriate role users for the application. This change simply activates the skill and does not touch the roles that are needed to use the skill. The new default behavior works as follows:

New customers

When you install a Now Assist product, designated skills are turned on automatically.

Existing customers who are upgrading (starting with Zurich Patch 4)

Any previously unconfigured skill is turned on automatically (the skill was never turned on, then off again).

There is no change to Now Assist skills that are currently enabled and customized.

Previously configured skills that were turned on, then off, remain inactive.
