Option to Use Bill Approval Workflows for Purchase Orders (Spend Program)

We would like the ability to apply existing Bill Pay approval workflows to Purchase Order approvals within the Spend Program. Currently, bill approvals and PO approvals function separately.

Allowing organizations to leverage the same approval structure for both would:

  • Create consistency across spend controls
  • Reduce duplicate workflow setup and maintenance
  • Improve efficiency in managing approvals
  • Ensure alignment between POs and related bills

Ideally, this would be available as a configurable option allowing companies to apply bill approval logic directly to Purchase Order workflows when desired. There could be a checkbox to use for global policy.

In addition, having the ability to export the approval workflow from each section and have the option to import an approval workflow would be ideal if the global policy for approvals is not an option.
