Approval Settings

Matched invoices receive deterministic approval routes, approvers are notified, actions are audited, escalations are managed, and fully approved invoices move automatically to Payment Readiness. AI explains and recommends, but rules remain the control authority.

Approval Settings

6 records

Production controls for governed enterprise approval operations.

Self-approval prevention

Requester, invoice owner, creator, and approver conflicts are blocked before approval.

Authorization limits

Authority is enforced by amount, legal entity, department, supplier risk, and accounting code.

Critical failure gate

Invoices with unresolved critical matching or validation exceptions cannot enter Payment Readiness.

AI governance

AI can recommend, explain, predict delays, and suggest routes, but it cannot approve invoices.

Audit retention

Every action records user, timestamp, before/after status, decision, and comments.

Payment handoff

Only fully approved invoices are marked payment-ready and sent to the Payment Readiness workspace.
