This is such an obvious thing that should exist because it already partially exists. You can filter invoices by invoice "approved" status and when you go to edit invoice there is an approval status drop down option. Why wouldn't this information be saved in the invoice history? What is the point of having this status option if it isn't tracked? For JEs there is a batch status option for "approved" and that information is maintained in the JE history, why wouldn't invoices be set up the same to track approvals? Please fix this oversight, thank you!!

Totally agree. We assumed since we could give auditors a special access into our system to do their audit work, there was a track showing who entered an invoice or JE, who approved, and who posted. It only shows the last person. We spent a ton of time digitizing our processes only to probably get dinged on our audit because they can't see who approved each invoice or journal entry. Quickbooks has this feature.

We use manage expense tab to send our invoices through the approval process. When the invoice is coded to a department it should have the approver from that department along with other approvers. You can set the who approves the invoices by going to the settings below manage expenses, the select approval rules.
