Mobile apps for Approvers and Requesters

There are two different mobile apps available for Approvers and Requesters, depending on the device used:
Mobile apps allow to raise Purchase Orders, Bills, Expenses, Contacts/Vendors and stand-alone requests as well as approving all kinds of requests for Xero and QuickBooks Online.

Via these apps, Approvers can:

  • Receive notifications about new approval requests (the notification settings can be changed)


  • Chat with each other and the Requester
  • Make their decision with a single tap of their finger

  • Match Bills to Purchase Orders 
  • Mark Purchase Orders as "Billed" (for the Xero integration)
  • Appoint a Delegate for when out of office

 Via these apps, Requesters can:

  • Create Purchase Orders/Bills/ Contacts (Vendor) or other requests (that get set up via stand-alone workflows) as well as edit and submit them for approval

  • Chat with Approvers
  • Add Approvers on the fly
  • Match Bills to Purchase Orders 
  • Mark Purchase Orders as "Billed" (for the Xero integration)

Benefits of using the ApprovalMax mobile app:

  • Suppliers, contractors and volunteers are able to create requests without having to access Xero/QuickBooks Online
  • Approval turn-around times are significantly shorter
  • Easy creation of Purchase Orders/Bills/Contacts (Vendors) on a phone that will include all related data, pulled from the general ledger
  • All requests including the related information are readily available in a remote or WFH environment
You can access the ApprovalMax mobile app using your password, or the Google, Xero or Intuit Single Sign-On. 
If you forget your password, it's possible to reset it via the mobile app: Can I reset my ApprovalMax password on mobile devices?

Note that the mobile app is not supported for tablets. It is recommended to use web browsers. The mobile app is most convenient on the phone.
