You can define roles or specific employees who approve, return, reject, and delete submitted purchase requests.

Your approvals for purchase requests can be flexible and based on the hierarchy levels at your company (for example, Second level manager), specific people (for example, budget owners of cost centers and defined managers of expense categories), or Payhawk roles (Payhawk accountants and Payhawk administrators). For more information, see the article about defining custom approval workflows.

To set the approvers of the purchase orders at your company:

  1. In the Payhawk web portal, go to the Settings > Workflows > Purchase orders tab.

  2. Click on Edit workflow.

  3. For the Approve step, define the desired approval depending on the required conditions and custom workflow.

  4. By default, the Receive setting for the purchase order is set to Requester and cannot be changed. The requester of the purchase order is the employee who submitted the purchase order.
