Document workflow and approvals in SaldeoSMART

An invoice, a contract or an insurance policy reaches the right person, waits for approval with a deadline and leaves a record of who signed it off.

Who sees a document, who approves it, and by when

The workflow covers not only invoices but also contracts, insurance policies, letters and documents that will never reach KSeF, Poland's National e-Invoicing System. Each of them goes to the right person and collects approvals on time, and the system records who signed off what.

The effect shows first outside the accounts: nobody asks any more whether anyone has seen the fuel invoice from July.

The system tracks how many people in the group have approved a document before it moves on. (Polish interface) SaldeoSMART material

Step 1 A document arrives
  • invoice, contract, policy, letter
  • it gets a description and a category
Step 2 It goes to the right person
  • the project manager sees the amount and the supplier
  • no need to know the chart of accounts
Step 3 Approval with a deadline
  • you can see who approved and when
  • anything overdue chases itself
Step 4 The accounts
  • the full description travels with the document
  • nobody reconstructs what the spend was for
The route is built around one particular team. This layout is the most common in a company with a few people approving costs.

In a company and in a firm the workflow runs in opposite directions

In a company a cost invoice comes in from KSeF, from an e-mail or from a scan, picks up a suggested category and dimension, and then goes to the person who knows the spend: a project manager, a site foreman, the head of a branch. That person doesn't have to know the chart of accounts. They see the amount, the supplier and one question: is this ours? Once approved, the document reaches the accounts with its description ready.

In an accounting firm the workflow runs the other way round: the client supplies the documents, and the client is the one who has to be shown what is missing. The firm saves the most time on the correspondence about missing paperwork.

Where invoices get stuck

The workflow will show you that an invoice has been waiting eleven days for approval. Who should approve it, and how quickly, is decided by the company, and that route is usually what needs fixing. We set it up with you during the implementation. With one person approving, a shorter route is enough than in a company with several departments.

Routes, stand-ins and reminders

We set up approval routes, permissions, deadlines and reminders, the rules that send documents to people, and schemes for documents that are not invoices. Some summaries of overdue items we build as bots that send a report at a set time.

We will show you a workflow built around your team

We build the approval route around your team. Tell us who approves costs at your company, and we will show you a proposal in the demo.

The demo is run by the person who will later implement the system. Prefer to call? 513 805 506
