Business value

This feature helps organizations hold subcontractor payments, even after recording the invoices, until the project manager approves them in Dataverse. This feature helps the accounts payable clerk mark the invoices for payment blockers when payment approval is required.

Feature details

This feature:

  • Allows the accounts payable clerk to record the subcontractor invoice but holds the payments for project manager approval.
  • Ensures the project manager approves the subcontractor invoices, performs three-way matching in Dataverse, and reconciles the invoice with the services delivered.
  • Enables the accounts payable team to make the subcontractor payments using payment journals or the payment proposal process after the project manager gives approval.
