Invoice Approval FAQs
Answers to common questions regarding OCR accuracy, ERP synchronization, and myDATA compliance.
How do managers approve invoices remotely?
Approvers receive instant push notifications in Microsoft Teams, Outlook, or the Power Apps mobile app. They inspect the attached PDF invoice and click 'Approve' or 'Reject' with optional audit comments.
Can the system accommodate multi-level approval hierarchies?
Yes. We configure customized approval matrices where expenditures below 1,000€ require departmental sign-off, while larger amounts automatically escalate to executive management.
Does the solution integrate with our existing ERP?
Yes. We provide native API connectors for SoftOne, Entersoft, SingularLogic, and SQL databases, posting approved invoices directly into your accounting ledger.
How is sensitive corporate financial data secured?
The application runs entirely within your corporate Microsoft 365 / Azure tenant, enforcing multi-factor authentication (MFA), role-based permissions, and end-to-end encryption.
What occurs if an invoice contains discrepancies?
The approver rejects the item, entering a justification. The system alerts the vendor or internal buyer, logs the rejection history, and halts financial posting.
How quickly can infoLib deploy this application?
Leveraging infoLib's pre-configured enterprise framework, deployment, customization, testing, and go-live are completed within 2 to 3 weeks.
