A community question

Who can approve a payment?

A payment may move without clear evidence of the required approvals. See who approved a payment and follow the supporting records in one place.

The situation

Who can approve a payment?

A vendor invoice is ready, but the board needs to know whether its own policy calls for one officer, a board vote or another review before the payment request advances.

The approval path is understood informally and may be hard to reconstruct later.

What a connected record can do

Keep the answer with the evidence.
