Bill Approval Feature
The Bill Approval feature in XoroERP provides robust control over the approval process for bills, ensuring that only approved bills are eligible for payment. This feature helps maintain financial accuracy and compliance within your organization.
Functionality
The bill approval feature allows users to:
Mark bills as 'Waiting for Approval'.
Mark bills as 'Approved'.
Additionally, XoroERP provides the ability to restrict payments for bills that have not been approved. This is controlled through an app configuration named “Restrict Payment for Unapproved Bills”, which is available under the Purchase tab.
When the App Configuration is Off
When the "Restrict Payment for Unapproved Bills" configuration is turned off, the following process applies:
Mark as Waiting for Approval:
Navigate to Options > Approval > Mark as Waiting For Approval.
This action tags the bill as "Waiting for Approval".
Upon opening a bill tagged as "Waiting for Approval", users will see the pending approval status displayed next to the bill number.
Mark as Approved:
Once the bill has been reviewed and approved, navigate to Options > Approval > Mark as Approved.
This action tags the bill as "Approved".
When the App Configuration is On
When the "Restrict Payment for Unapproved Bills" configuration is turned on, the following process applies:
Automatic Status Assignment:
If the app config is on, bills are automatically generated with the status "Waiting for Approval".
Approval Requirement for Payments:
Approval is mandatory before proceeding with bill payments.
To approve a bill, navigate to Options > Approval > Mark as Approved.
Attempting to pay an unapproved bill will trigger a system error, preventing the payment from being processed.
