Accelerate your payment approval process in SAP. Ensure audit trails and integration with your SAP payment run using Avaali’s light weight, low-cost solution

Velocious Payment Approval Automation

Most large enterprises have a process to approve payments by the respective line of authority before a payment run is initiated in the ERP. Typically, this entails the preparer to create a note with relevant attachments and sending to the right signing authority for approvals. The approver then needs to check if expense is valid against cost center, verifying all the attachments and approving / rejecting with comments. The accounts payable team confirms that all requisite approvals are completed prior to completing the payment run. The approval process and payment run process must be tied, and payment runs should ideally be disabled unless approvals have been received.
