Stop Overspending Before It Happens

Purchase requests, POs, and supplier invoices — approved and checked against budget before they reach Xero or QuickBooks. Invoices capture themselves with AI.

Sound familiar?

Bills turn up in Xero for things nobody approved.
Purchase approvals live in email, WhatsApp, and “I’ll ask the boss.”
You find the budget blowout at month end, when it’s too late.
Xero’s built-in approval is a single step, with no purchase request and no budget check.

ApprovalPro puts control before the spend, not after it.

One flow from request to paid bill

Every dollar is requested, approved, and checked against budget before it reaches your books.

1. Request

Staff raise a purchase request, with quotes attached, before anything is ordered.

2. Approve

Routed to the right people by amount, department, or document type. Multi-level, sequential or parallel.

3. Order

The approved request becomes a purchase order in Xero or QuickBooks in one click.

4. Capture

Forward or upload the supplier’s invoice. AI reads it, so there’s no manual entry.

5. Control

Spend is tracked against budget in real time, and the approved bill syncs to your books.

Live in a day: connect Xero or QuickBooks in one click, set who approves what, and invite your team. Approved documents post to your books. Rejected ones stay on hold.

Approvals for every step of your purchasing

Purchase Requests

Stop spend before it starts. Staff submit requests before anything is created in Xero or QuickBooks.

  • Multi-level approval by amount, department, or category
  • Budget threshold rules
  • Attach quotes and documents
  • Approved requests become POs automatically

Purchase Orders

Every PO is approved before it goes to a supplier or posts to your accounting system.

  • Created automatically from approved requests
  • Amount-based approval routing
  • Syncs to Xero & QuickBooks
  • Supplier management

Bills & Supplier Invoices

Nothing gets paid without sign-off. Bills are matched to the original PO before approval.

  • AI capture: forward or upload, no typing
  • 3-way matching (PO, receipt, bill)
  • Due date tracking
  • Payment on hold until approved

Budgets that actually stop overspending

Most approval tools only see the spend when the bill arrives. ApprovalPro checks budget when the purchase is requested, while you can still say no.

  • Budget threshold rules send bigger spends to more senior approvers
  • Real-time budget tracking, with no month-end spreadsheet
