Connected Details

Keep key details from request to follow-up

  • Requester, amount, account or cost center, and attachments move from intake into approval.
  • Policy exception, limit check, variance context, and approval decision stay on the finance record.
  • Vendor, invoice, payment owner, and due date connect approval work to payment tracking.
  • Journal or credit decisions retain reviewer notes and audit-ready status history.
Best Starting Point

Choose the first template by bottleneck

  • Start with expense approval when employee spend is the highest-volume bottleneck.
  • Start with invoice or payment requests when vendor follow-up is scattered.
  • Start with budget approval when managers need better context before committing spend.
