Receive notification when bills are pending your approval

To receive notifications that a bill is awaiting your approval, you can enable email notifications on your Preferences page. For this to work, your admin must enable email notifications for bill approvals on the Configure Accounts Payable page.

If you’re someone who submits bills, you do not need to do any setup to receive notifications when your bills are approved or declined. As long as your admin enabled email notifications, you’re notified automatically when an approver acts on a bill. For bill submitters, these notifications cannot be turned off.

Are you using Purchasing approvals instead of Accounts Payable? Learn how to enable notifications created in Purchasing.

User type	Business users and Employee users
Permissions	Approve Bills: List AP Bill Approval Levels: If your company is set up for value approval, assign the appropriate permission level. For example, if you’re a Level 2 approver you need Level 2 permissions.
Restrictions	Make sure your admin enabled bill approval email notifications on the Configure Accounts Payable page. Bill approvals are only available for bills and recurring bills created in Accounts Payable. For transactions created in Purchasing, use Purchasing approvals. Business users with appropriate permissions can edit some bill details during approval.
