Payables Workflow

A review and approval workflow for supplier bills before payment is authorised.

Supplier bills often need checking by the person who ordered or received the work before finance pays them. A payables workflow records that handover. It helps accounts staff distinguish a bill awaiting evidence from one approved for payment or already settled.

What it manages

Bill records can contain supplier, invoice reference, amount, due date, supporting documents and approval status. Matching a bill to an order or receipt helps identify differences. Payment preparation is distinct from confirmed bank settlement and from the accounting entry.

03

How it works in a business

Accounts staff register a bill and check it for duplicates. The responsible manager verifies the purchase or service and approves it. The payment team prepares the authorised payment, then records confirmation from the financial system so the bill is not left falsely unpaid.

04

What SFn can customise

SFn can configure approval chains, matching checks and payment-run views. Purchase and accounting connections can be scoped. Bank execution, tax treatment and accounting controls remain explicit requirements that need review by the business's finance owner.
