Filter Approved bills in Pay Bills Screen QBO

We recently started using the approval workflow for vendor payments for Accounts Payable. 

 

This seems like a no brainer, but is there not a way to Filter Approved bills in the Bill Pay screen? I am not seeing that there is. It seems to defeat the purpose of an approved/not approved bill if you can just pay whatever, whenever? I at least want to filter out anything that is not approved when I go to pay bills so we aren't accidentally paying pending items.

Filter Approved bills in Pay Bills Screen QBO

It's critical to ensure that only approved bills are paid, especially given the workflows your Accounts Payable team has started implementing. Let me clarify this matter and share the steps you can take to forward this feedback to our product development team.

 

I see how beneficial it is to filter approved bills in the Pay Bills screen to ensure accuracy and accountability by preventing unapproved transactions from being processed. However, the option is currently unavailable in QuickBooks Online. I encourage you to share this suggestion with our back-end team. Your feedback helps us understand the urgent needs of our customers and prioritize new features accordingly.

 

Here's how to submit feedback:

 

  1. Click the Gear icon in the upper right corner.
  2. Select Feedback.
  3. Enter your suggestion for a filter to show only approved bills in the Pay Bills screen.
  4. Click Next to submit.
