Does SAP Business One have approval workflows for invoices and expenses?

Partly. Approval procedures (stages plus templates) apply to purchase requests, purchase orders, goods receipts, A/P invoices, credit memos, down payments, outgoing payments, sales and inventory documents. Reimbursements have to be processed as A/P invoices or outgoing payments, both of which approval templates can cover. However, Business One has no dedicated expense report or expense claim document: none appears in the DI API object types or the approval template document types.

Where Vergo fits with SAP Business One

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Vergo route approvals by project?

Yes. Route by GL account, by amount or by project, or skip approval flows and let policy flags catch only what breaks a rule.

What happens after approval in Vergo?

The coded card spend posts into SAP Business One, with its receipt.
