Procurement Settings
Configure approval thresholds, AP inbox, payment terms, and GL account mapping.
Navigate to Procurement > Settings to configure the module for your organization.
Procurement Settings are accessible to workspace admins and users with the Procurement Admin role.
General
- Default payment terms — Applied to new vendors and bills when no vendor-specific terms are set (e.g., Net 30, Net 60)
- Default currency — Pre-selected on new POs and vendor records
- PO number prefix — Customize the prefix for generated PO numbers (e.g.,
PO-,PR-) - PO number sequence — Starting number and padding (e.g.,
PO-00001)
Approval Rules
Set the amount thresholds that determine which approval level is required for each PO.
Example configuration:
| Threshold | Approval Required |
|---|---|
| €0 – €500 | Auto-approved |
| €501 – €5,000 | Manager |
| > €5,000 | Finance Director |
Add, remove, or reorder approval levels. Each level specifies:
- Amount threshold — Minimum PO total that triggers this level
- Approver — Specific user or role
- Notification method — In-app, email, or both
AP Inbox
- AP inbox email address — Your unique address for receiving supplier PDF invoices
- Additional forwarding addresses — Forward all received bills to additional reviewers
- Default reviewer — Automatically assign extracted bills to a specific user for initial review
GL Account Mapping
Map procurement categories to Finance GL accounts. Applied automatically when bill line items have a recognized category.
Example mappings:
| Category | GL Account |
|---|---|
| Software | 6210 — Software & Subscriptions |
| Hardware | 6220 — IT Equipment |
| Travel | 6300 — Travel & Accommodation |
| Office Supplies | 6400 — Office Expenses |
Add custom categories and map them to any GL account defined in Finance.
Budget Guardrails
Enable budget checking against Finance budget allocations:
- Warning only — PO submission proceeds but a warning is displayed when the PO would exceed a budget
- Block submission — PO cannot be submitted if the budget allocation is exhausted
Budgets are defined in Finance and referenced by GL account.
Match Tolerance
Configure the threshold for 3-way matching:
- Tolerance type — Percentage (e.g., ±5%) or absolute amount (e.g., ±€10)
- Auto-approval — Bills within tolerance advance to Pending Approval automatically
- Manual review — Bills outside tolerance are held for a reviewer to resolve before advancing
