Does Jiwa Financials have approval workflows for invoices and expenses?

Key takeaways

• Invoice and purchasing approvals: Partly. Jiwa ships an Approval Based Workflow for purchase orders (Awaiting Order Approval and Awaiting Invoice Approval statuses), with approval rights controlled by user-group permissions and the workflow set per supplier. However, no general-purpose approval engine for other document types is documented.
• Expense claim approvals: No. A review of the docs found no employee expense claim or reimbursement workflow in the feature tour, the Jiwa 8 user guide or the Plugins Store.
• Vergo approvals are optional and run before coded spend posts into Jiwa Financials.

Where Vergo fits with Jiwa Financials

Vergo adds approvals on the spend before it reaches Jiwa Financials. 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 Jiwa Financials, coded to your segmented account, such as account, warehouse and branch.
