Custom invoice approval workflows

Streamline your invoice approval process with our custom workflows to ensure that every essential stakeholder is included in the decision-making process. Assign invoices to any number of stakeholders; they will receive convenient daily notifications, keeping everyone in the loop.

  • Flexible Approval Logic: Our system supports different approval models. Whether there’s one individual sign-off or multiple approvers, we have it covered.
  • One Final Approver: When a single final approver is chosen, the invoice status changes to “approved” upon their confirmation.
  • Multiple Final Approvers: If multiple approvers are needed, they can give the final approval, contingent on the fully allocated amount.
  • Auto-Forward to Accounting: Once all assigned stakeholders have approved, the invoice is automatically sent to your accounting software, with costs appearing in your project’s actual costs.
  • Set Approval Thresholds: Introduce an extra layer of scrutiny with our limit feature. If an invoice exceeds a predetermined amount – for example, €10,000 – a new approver is automatically added to the process.
