Zahara's key strength is the ability to create simple or incredibly sophisticated approval workflows in minutes. We have a range of conditions and rules that can be applied to each step of the Accounts Payable Automation process, to engage the right people in your organisation.

Approval workflows can be created for purchase orders (requests to buy that can be turned into purchase orders) and invoice approvals. The workflows can engage users for an approve / reject outcome but also to include steps such as sending a PO to a supplier or exporting an invoice into a finance system.

Save Money Using Control And Process

As an organisation increases in size, there is a need to add more control on company spend. Making sure your buyers are buying from the right suppliers at the right price. You can achieve this easily when you introduce purchase requisition workflows. Managers can easily approve or reject spend requests and business leaders can have a complete visibility of all spend not yet showing on the Purchase Ledger.

Better Buying Made Easy

When Approval workflows are used for purchase requests, Accounts Payable Automation can be facilitated more easily. When fully-embraced and purchase orders are used, the validation or authorisation is front-end loaded. This means purchases are approved and coded accurately before the delivers. When their invoice arrives, it can be expedited through to your finance system for a payment run.

Multi-Step Invoice Approvals FAQs

Can I use multi-step approvals for invoices?

Yes that's one of the key uses of Zahara's sofwtare - multi-step invoice approval workflows.

How do purchase requisitions work?

The buyer creates a purchase request. This can be attached to a multi-step purcase order workflow. The outcome from this could be purchase approval in which case a purchase order could be sent to the supplier. You have a choice of using the original requisition number or a new second sequential number purely for the Purchase Order.

Can an invoice be exported into the finance system after approval?

Yes, invoices can be exported into any of the finance systems we integrate with like Xero and QuickBooks Online as part of an invoice approval workflow .

What does multi-step mean in invoice approval software?

Invoice Approval workflows can involve more than one approver. This is what we mean by multi-ste - basically a multi person approval.

This should be the key consideration of any invoice approval software.
