Features

If you implement the approval procedure, the cardholder receives a work item in his inbox. He or she checks the information for his or her procurement card and can change the cost objects suggested. He or she can also distribute the individual purchases to various cost objects.

Next, the manager receives a work item and can monitor the purchases. He or she can also change the cost object and distribute purchases.

The transaction figures in the back-end system are then updated.

Note Note

Cardholders and managers cannot reject the work item when they process it. If the settlement data contains errors, you can leave the work item in its current status and take organizational measures.

The system always generates the invoice.
