Bill Payment Approvals

Approvals
Primary · Finance
Secondary · Procurement

Bills pile up at month-end and the approval path for them is inconsistent. The work is routing and follow-up, not judgment, which is the kind of work Flo should carry.

Flo reads the bill in NetSuite, matches it to the spend owner and the PO, drafts the right approval chain, and routes it in Slack. It chases laggards and records each approval against the bill for the close.

Flo routes and records. Finance approves and pays. The approval trail is clean and complete. Unmatched or exception bills escalate to a human, and Flo never issues payment.
