Key takeaways
- Invoice and purchasing approvals: Partly. Purchase requisitions act as authorisation requests: when approved and processed, they become purchase orders. However, the manual documents no configurable approval routing for AP invoices or expenses.
- Expense claim approvals: No. The Spire 4.1 manual has no employee expense report or reimbursement workflow; out-of-pocket costs would be entered as AP invoices.
- Vergo approvals are optional and run before coded spend posts into Spire.

Where Vergo fits with Spire
Vergo adds approvals on the spend before it reaches Spire. 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 Spire, coded to your GL account, including its location or profit center segment.
