Does Business Central have approval workflows for invoices and expenses?

Partly. The Workflow feature provides configurable approval workflows built from templates (for example the Purchase Order Approval Workflow), with approval users, approval limits and notifications. It covers purchase documents, journals and other records. Native Expense Management (production-ready preview) lets employees submit expense reports that managers approve or reject, after which the reports are posted and reimbursed.

Where Vergo fits with Business Central

Keep Business Central's workflow for the documents it already routes; Vergo approves the spend before it reaches Business Central. Approval workflows are optional and fit how you already control spend: route by GL account or by amount — or skip approval flows entirely and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule. Approved card spend posts into Business Central, coded to your G/L account and global and shortcut dimensions.
