Welcome to the Community, @workflow admin.
I’m happy to address your concern about the bill approval workflow in QuickBooks Online (QBO).
With regards to this matter, bills created by approvers are auto-approved. That said, the option to stop an admin from automatically approving bills is unavailable.
I recognize how this feature is beneficial to you and your business. I recommend sending your feedback directly to our Product Development Team. This way, they’ll be able to review and determine what features to add for future updates.
I’ll guide you on how:
