Does ApprovalMax take Xero documents into account during Budget Checking?

ApprovalMax tracks Xero Bills and Purchase Orders that were created in/pulled to ApprovalMax with the budgets that were synced/uploaded to ApprovalMax during the approval process.

Expenses that got approved directly in Xero and were then pulled to ApprovalMax will only be tracked with a budget if this budget has been uploaded/synced from Xero to ApprovalMax before these requests were created.

Please note: ApprovalMax pulls requests that were approved directly in Xero only if the feature "Fraud Detection — bypassing the approval workflow" is turned on.
If the "Fraud Detection — bypassing the approval workflow" feature is off, ApprovalMax will not pull any Bills/Purchase Orders that got approved directly in Xero and this may have an impact on the Budget Checking amounts.
