“We loved your unique feature of connecting the transactional fields with the machine learning element. It was easy to drag and drop data, and the system learned from it. For instance, DOKKA learned who should approve transactions from a specific supplier, and it just required a quick review before sending it for approval. This feature has saved us a significant amount of time.”

“It’s so easy to see the status of the invoice, and who should be approving it, and the workflow works great. The audit trail is good for having the insight into who imported the invoice, who approved it, and what has changed. All that makes it easy to follow and check if there are any issues.”

Deborah Stevens

“Approving things is much easier now. I don’t have to constantly remind my colleagues to approve invoices or other documents. It has also saved us a lot of time that we used to spend writing emails or doing other manual tasks. Overall, it has made our work more efficient and streamlined.”

Frequently Asked Questions

An invoice approval workflow is a structured process that ensures invoices go through a series of checks and approvals before being paid. It typically involves various stages, such as invoice receipt, verification, approval by relevant departments, and final payment authorization.

Implementing an invoice approval workflow helps prevent errors, reduces the risk of fraudulent payments, ensures compliance with company policies, and streamlines the accounts payable process. It also improves visibility and accountability in invoice handling.

To create an effective invoice approval workflow:

  • Define approval stages and assign roles.
  • Set clear rules for invoice verification.
  • Use automation software to streamline processes and reduce manual errors.
