How Does the Invoice Approval App Work?

Within InformerOnline, it's possible to approve purchase invoices before the payment of the invoice can take place. For this, the 'Invoice Approval' module needs to be activated. The advantage of approving invoices is that they cannot be accidentally included in a payment batch.

Go to Settings -> App Store to activate this module. Activating this module costs €5 per month extra.


Once this module is activated, purchase invoices can be approved. All existing purchase invoices are automatically set to approved.

When processing/booking a purchase invoice, an 'Approve' option will appear on the right in the block.


Here, an employee can be designated to approve the purchase invoice. Click on the 'Select employee' bar and the users created via Settings -> Users will become available. In the example below, employee Rien is selected.


After the purchase invoice is saved, a task will be added to the selected employee's dashboard. In this case, the task is 'approve purchase invoice.'

By clicking on this task, the employee is redirected to the purchase invoices screen. In the block, the employee can approve the invoice. Optionally, a comment can be added.

After approval (or not), it will be indicated below the comment who approved or disapproved the invoice.

If the invoice is approved by all designated employees, a checkmark will appear in the list of all purchase invoices. If there is no checkmark, the invoice has not yet been approved by everyone.

If there is an exclamation mark, it means the invoice still needs to be approved by the logged-in employee.

Note: With the Approval module, the invoice must be approved by all selected employees before it can be directly paid from Informer.
