New Feature: Create and Approve POs Outside of QuickBooks Online
If you’re running a small or medium-sized business, then you’ll know just how important it is to use an online accounting tool. Preferably one that keeps everything organized in one place, records your sales, tracks your spending, and can hook up with your bank accounts to make sure accurate and up-to-date information is at your fingertips.
QuickBooks Online is one such tool, used by millions of small business around the globe. And it’s a very good choice when you’re handling most of the day-to-day tasks of running your company yourself.
But as your business grows, you will need to start delegating tasks. And one such task that always crops up is the creation of Purchase Orders. This typically requires granting your employees access to QuickBooks Online, therefore allowing them a first-hand glance at information that may well be above their paygrade.
So, how do you manage this situation? How do you control access to sensitive information, and manage the approval of POs before they are sent?
Well, that’s where ApprovalMax comes in …
What Is ApprovalMax?
