Invoice Approver visibility to history of invoices they approved/paid history

Customer interested: Lytho

  • No procurement team | department heads/IAs manage the relationships in combo with CFO & CEO for approval

  • Time consuming: IAs always come to Finance team for historical documents because they typically do not like to hunt through their emails to find old invoices so they just ask Finance - this is time consuming for both Finance and the invoice approver

What is the use case?
  • To see all the invoice information of previously approved invoices the same way Full Access users can see all the information of previously approved invoices within the Paid Invoices tab

    • It helps IAs to understand previous prices vs. current pricing

  • Preference to restrict invoice approvers to see previously approved invoices for their invoices, not all the company

  • The invoice approvers do not have access to their GL bc some GLs charge by number of licenses, so cannot access historical information in a centralized way

Impact?
  • Helpful for IAs who are usually dept heads to see previous pricing vs. current pricing

  • IAs do not always have access to the GL, cannot see historical info

  • After IAs Approve or Reject, the invoice disappears from their view

Is there a work around?

No - to see historical invoices the IA would need to look through their emails or request a copy of the inv document from the Finance team.

Proposed solution?
  • Add the Paid Invoices tab to the IA view

  • Limit their view to only invoices they were involved in approving

  • Perhaps also show the status of invoices in their Home tab instead of it disappearing after they Approve or Reject - they may need to know if an invoice is paid/unpaid if they manage the relationship w the vendor
