Mobile Approvals Overview

Approval rules add an additional layer of approval to invoices that may otherwise reconcile through xtraCHEF automatically (once xtraCHEF's machine learning is sufficient). These rules can be set up to flag invoices based on a number of different criteria. Should an invoice match your approval rule, it will be paused from reconciling until you or a member of your team approves it.
