Invoice Approval Process Flowchart

A visual map of how invoices move from receipt through each approval step to payment.

An invoice approval process flowchart shows who reviews an invoice, under which rules, and what happens on exceptions. Mapping the flow exposes bottlenecks — shared inboxes, unclear dollar thresholds, missing escalation paths — before you automate. Once the flowchart is clear, invoice approval software can encode those same paths with reminders and an audit trail.
