Admins and Account holders can give access to Supplier invoices section to Managers
When the Supplier invoices permission is enabled, the Manager can assist with the collection, review, and payment of supplier invoices (either directly or by requesting a payment). If your organization has configured a 4-eyes dual approval policy, the person who prepares an invoice cannot be the same person who executes the payment.
💡 For more details on the 4-eyes policy, check out our dedicated FAQ
Managers can also be granted the Upload and set up supplier invoices permission to access, review, and manage invoices company-wide, and approve payment requests from Employees (when they also have transfer permissions)
Note: All Employees automatically have access to upload supplier invoices, edit details for invoices they uploaded, and create payment requests for approval - for more information on which role to assign your team member visit What are the different roles available?
☝️ The Manager role is only available on the Business and Enterprise plans.
If you subscribed to your plan after 01/10/2024, the manager role is divided into two levels of permissions:
- Basic Manager : available with all Team plans (Essential, Business and Enterprise)
- Advanced Manager : available through add-ons Account Payable and Expense & Spend Management
💡Good to know : All reviews and approval permissions are part of the Advanced Manager role only.
What can a Manager with Supplier invoices permission do
On desktop and mobile
Upload invoices with Drive, drag-and-drop, or bulk upload
View, download, and delete the invoices of the whole company
Edit the invoice information scanned by Qonto (e.g., IBAN, Supplier name) and add missing details to prepare the payment
- Pay by transfer all the invoices or up to their monthly or per-transfer limits (which are set beforehand) unless the 4-eyes dual approval policy is active, in which case a different person must execute the payment
-
Request payment for invoices in euro directly in the Supplier invoices section, in case:
- the Manager doesn't have transfer permission
- the amount of the invoice exceeds the Manager's monthly or per-transfer limit
- the 4-eyes dual approval policy is active, meaning the person who prepared the invoice cannot be the one to execute the payment — a different authorized person will need to do so
The request will be sent for approval to the Owner, Admin, or authorized Manager who will be able to review it both from the Supplier invoices section and the Requests section.
On desktop only
Mark invoices as paid and match them with an existing transaction
