3) Multilevel Approval for Sales Transactions

You can now assign more than one approver to double-check the sales transactions created by your staff members. Doing so ensures that the transactions are thoroughly verified by each appointed personnel before sending it to the intended recipient; leaving little to no room for errors.

To enable multilevel approval: Go to Settings > Preferences > Approval > Click Enable Sales Approval button.

Learn how you can assign multiple approvers to approve/reject a sales transaction.

4) Reject and Resubmit Transaction

If the transaction created by your staff is incorrect or missing crucial information, the respective approver can reject the transaction by specifying the reason for rejection. The staff can then refer to this reason to make the necessary changes and resubmit the transaction for approval.

6) Self Billed Invoice (UK Edition)
