How to approve bills via email 

Approving bills via email streamlines the payment process, allowing you to approve bills without needing to access the Tipalti Hub.

If your administrator assigns you "Bill Approver" permission in Tipalti, you'll receive bill approval requests via email. The requests will be sent to you from bill.approvals@tipalti.com. Add this address to your contacts to ensure successful email deliveries.

The email includes:

• Bill details — amount, supplier, due date, and reference information
• Line-level coding — expense account, department, project, cost center, and location for each line item
• Recent bills from the same payee
• Approval flow — showing who has already approved and who still needs to

Near the bottom of the email are five action buttons. These actions can be performed via mobile, tablet, or computer.

• Approve bill
  If you are the only approver or the last approver in a sequence of approvers, then the approved bill is assigned a status of Pending payment and forwarded to the Pending payment subtab. Otherwise, the bill status remains the same, and a bill-PO action request email is sent to the next approver.
  The "Approve" button only displays if the bill is not missing any necessary information and is approvable.
• Update coding
  Allows you to update the GL coding associated with the bill.
• Comment
  Opens a separate browser window where you can view and add comments about the bill.
• Send back to AP
  A reason for sending the bill back to AP must be provided. The bill is assigned a status of Pending AP action and is forwarded to the Pending AP action subtab.
• Dispute
  A dispute reason must be provided. The reason is emailed to the payee.
