From bill details

To review the bill first, choose View details, then tap Approve or Reject at the bottom of the Bill details page.
To review several bills at once:
  1. Long-press a bill to select it.
  2. Select other bills or choose Select all.
  3. Choose Approve or Reject.
For bulk approvals, confirm in the Approve bills? dialog. For bulk rejections, the app asks for one reason for all selected bills. An individual rejection confirmation has an optional reason.

Review bill details

Bill details shows each bill’s vendor, amount, due date, submitter and status. More details includes the bill date and reference number, and Approver(s) lists the approvers. Use the Receipts, Notes and Tags tabs to review bill attachments, notes and tags. You can see all notes. You can use Edit tag(s) and replace invoices on pending bills you can review. Approval override groups can also let you approve out of turn.

What happens after you review a bill

When your group has approved a bill but additional approvals are still needed, Bill details shows “This item has received approval from one of your groups, but additional approvals are still required.”

With more approval levels, the bill moves to the next approver. After final approval, it’s approved. If a bill is rejected, the submitter is notified.

Bill approval push notifications

The Bill to approve push notification tells you that a vendor’s bill for the displayed amount needs your approval. Tap it to open Bill details. If the bill has already been reviewed, the notification opens the Bills list instead. To receive these notifications, turn on Bill payment requests in the app under Settings → Notifications. This toggle is available to admins who can review bills and Cardholders in a bill approval policy.
