How can I see paid Bills or Sales Invoices that have bypassed the approval workflow?

Updated over a month ago

It's possible that some of your Bills or Sales Invoices were approved for payment directly in Xero and, therefore, bypassed the approval workflow.

In ApprovalMax, you can build a report to track all such cases.

First, activate the Fraud Detection settings in the approval workflow

  • Select your Organisation in the main menu and go to Approval workflows under Workflows and settings.

  • Open the Bill workflow and click on the Gear icon. Then activate the FRAUD DETECTION - BYPASSING THE APPROVAL WORKFLOW setting.
    This will allow ApprovalMax to pull all requests that were approved directly in Xero.

  • Save your changes and update the approval workflow.

Now, set up a report

  • Select your Organisation in the main menu and go to Request reports under Reports.

  • Click on the NEW REPORT button in the upper right-hand corner.

  • Tick the checkbox next to Bill or Sales Invoice and click on NEXT.

  • Apply filters and click on NEXT.

    • Fraud risk - Approved directly in Xero

    • Paid - Yes

  • Select the columns you want to see in the report and click on NEXT.

  • Name your report and click on CREATE.
