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. Please add this address to your contact list to ensure successful email deliveries.

The email will include details about the bill, such as the amount, supplier, and due date. It will also include details about the supplier’s previous bills and the list of everyone who needs to approve the bill, if applicable. Carefully review these details to ensure everything is correct.

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 account
  This action allows you to update the account information associated with the bill. This can include updating payment details or other relevant account information.
• 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 Bill
  A dispute reason must be provided. The reason is emailed to the payee.
• Post a comment
  This action opens a separate browser window where you can view and add comments about the bill.
