The "Approve All" button is a security risk in that it allows approvers or the AP department to override all approvers setup for an invoice. This maybe for the purpose of getting a fraudulent invoice paid. It can look as though it has been appropriately approved when it has not.

You can also create a custom button and put it over the top of the Approve All button
You turn this off in VA Form Security. You can assign access via the "APUnappAll" Form
I think this is a great suggestion. I agree that AP should not have this ability because it creates a loophole for my AP team to work around the process. It makes me distrust the approvers listed because I don't know if it was really them.
