Digital invoice approval for streamlined spend control
ApprovalMax provides workflow automation for bills to fully replace paper- or email-driven approval routing and establishes granular financial controls for any kind of spending accounted for in QuickBooks Online.
As soon as a bill appears in ApprovalMax, it is automatically routed through a multi-step and multi-role approval process that is based on predefined criteria, such as vendor, amount, category, class, location, etc.
Once reviewed and authorised, bills are pushed to QuickBooks Online ready for payment, with the audit reports automatically attached.

Bill fetching
Fetching bills for review and approval can happen in different ways. One option is to create a bill in ApprovalMax. Another option is to use Receipt Bank to digitally capture the invoice and then push an electronic version of it directly to ApprovalMax for subsequent review and approval.
Multi-step and multi-role authorisation
The automated approval workflow routes bills through a multi-step and multi-role authorisation process that is based on one or several criteria pulled from QuickBooks Online, such as vendor, amount, category, class, location.
Approved bill
Once fully authorised, bills are pushed to QuickBooks Online. An audit report that captures the authorisation history including approver comments is created and attached automatically.
