Changes coming to bill approval workflows in QuickBooks Online Advanced

In a nutshell: By the end of August, new bill approver permissions will let you create custom user roles with the ability to approve bills, freeing up time for other important tasks.

Currently, only admin users can approve bills in QuickBooks Online Advanced. Combined with bill approval workflows, this update will allow companies to direct bills to the appropriate person for approval without giving them access to data and features they don’t need.

Admin users can now easily delegate approval decisions, so they can focus on higher-value work instead. The new workflow allows admins to implement better controls around their bill approval processes, without risking payment lapses.
