This blog explores how DMS+ automates the invoice approval process through intelligent workflows, centralized storage and real-time visibility. It highlights common pain points in manual approvals like delays, lost documents and audit risks.
In most organizations, invoice approvals are a source of friction—delayed emails, lost attachments, manual follow-ups and unclear ownership stall the payment cycle. These delays don’t just frustrate vendors; they disrupt cash flow, strain vendor relationships and create compliance risks.
DMS+ solves this with automated workflows, enabling seamless, transparent and timely invoice approvals from submission to payment.
Without automation, invoice approvals typically involve:
Manual handovers across departments (Procurement → Finance → Management)
Scattered storage of invoices in inboxes, shared drives, or paper folders
Unclear accountability, with no visibility on pending approvals
Missing documents, like POs, GRNs, or tax proofs
Audit risks, due to lack of version control or action logs
This leads to payment delays, vendor dissatisfaction, missed early payment discounts and potential penalties.
Vendors or internal teams can upload invoices directly into DMS+ via:
Uploaded invoices are stored centrally with metadata such as PO number, Vendor ID, Invoice Date and Amount.
Once uploaded, invoices automatically trigger predefined workflows based on rules like:
Example: An invoice over ₹1 lakh may require approvals from the Department Head and Finance Manager, while one under ₹10,000 may go directly to the Accountant.
Outcome: No manual chasing or guesswork—each invoice knows exactly where to go.
DMS+ supports:
