Hello. Is there an internal control in place in QuickBooks for cash inflow and outflow? Let say an approval process in the system before online payment is processed?

Currently the control we have in QuickBooks is the proper assigning of admin access for the online payment processing. What I'm looking at is an additional control where the approver have to select a Yes or No to approve specific online transaction within QBO itself. Is there a function available that 's somewhat similar to what I'm looking for? Or any other controls in the system relating to cash or online payments? Thank you in advance.

Thanks for sharing your concern in the QuickBooks Community, @lizzie18.

 

For now, the option to have an internal setting where the approver has to select a Yes or No to approve a specific online transaction within QuickBooks is unavailable.

In the meantime, you can utilize the user roles and access rights for your team in QuickBooks Online (QBO). This way, you can manage their roles and limit their access to specific tasks. You can also choose what they can see and do within different areas of QuickBooks like customers and sales or vendors and purchases.

 

For more details, you can check out this article: User roles and access rights in QBO.

 

I can see how this option would be helpful for you and your business. Therefore, let me take note of this as a suggestion to improve your QuickBooks experience.


You can also personally send this suggestion to our developers. This way, they can review your request and most likely include it in our future updates.
