# Approving bills in the PEX mobile app

> Review bill payment requests in the PEX mobile app, approve or reject bills and follow their status through multi-level approval

To review bills in the PEX mobile app, your account needs Bill Pay and you need the **Manage bills & vendors** permission.

## Open bills

**Step 1**

Open the **Dashboard** tab.

**Step 2**

In the **Review** section, tap the **Bills** tile. Its badge shows the number of bills waiting for review.

The **Bills** page has **New requests** and **History** tabs. **History** shows bills that have been reviewed.

## Find bills to review

The **New requests** tab lists bills waiting for review. To narrow the list, tap the funnel icon and filter by:

* **Review assignment** — **All** or **Pending my review**. Admins default to **Pending my review**
* **Due date**
* **Created date**
* **Amount**

Each bill row shows the vendor, submitter, amount, **Bill date** and **Due** date. If there is no due date, it shows **N/A**. Bills can also have **Overdue** or **30+ days overdue** badges.

## Approve or reject a bill

**1. From the list**

On a bill row, tap **⋮**. Choose **Approve** or **Reject**. The menu also includes **View details**.

**2. 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.
