Approval threshold
An approval threshold is a dollar amount above which a bill or purchase requires a second sign-off — a core internal control in accounts payable.
Approval thresholds only work if they're actually enforced. A split payment defeats the control by breaking one purchase into several smaller bills, each landing just under the limit. Because each bill is reviewed individually, nobody sees the cluster together. Invoice Auditor surfaces clusters of same-vendor bills close in time that together cross a round threshold no single one reaches — turning a control that exists on paper into one that's actually monitored. It shows the combined total, the threshold, and each bill in the cluster for your review.
