 NEW  The Watchers functionality is generally available for all integrations and Stand-alone workflows.

The Watchers functionality in ApprovalMax allows users to closely monitor and stay informed about specific approval requests within the system. When a user is assigned as a Watcher for a particular request, they will receive notifications and updates regarding the progress and status of the approvals, even if they are not directly involved in the approval process.

The Watchers functionality provides the following features:

1. Notifications: Watchers receive notifications via email when significant events occur within the request they are watching. This includes approvals or rejections, post-approval changes, decision reworks, comments, adding/removing approvers/watchers, and marking Purchase Orders as Billed / Bills as Paid.

2. Visibility: Watchers can track the progress of the approvals they monitor within the ApprovalMax. They can see the current status, comments made, and other relevant information related to the request.

3. Observation: although Watchers do not actively participate in the approvals, they can observe the document, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the process.

The Watchers functionality aims to provide visibility and engagement for users who must stay up-to-date on specific approval processes without direct involvement.

 NEW  QuickBooks Online Journal Entries are available in public beta.

A Journal Entry is a manual recording of transactions and adjustments to your accounting file.

Journal Entries allow you to transfer funds between accounts and ensure that your financial records are balanced according to specific requirements. They should be considered as a final option for recording transactions.

It's advisable to use Journal Entries only if you have a solid understanding of accounting principles or when advised by a professional accountant.

Additionally, it's essential to have full comprehension of debits and credits to utilise Journal Entries accurately.

Here are a few reasons for creating a Journal Entry:

• To enter debits and credits manually, like in traditional accounting systems

• To transfer money between income and expense accounts

• To transfer money from an asset, liability, or equity account to an income or expense account
  
  

Here is what it looks like in QuickBooks Online
