How to Build an Accounts Payable Approval App Integrated With Omie

An accounts payable approval app integrated with Omie captures the payment request, holds it for review, and posts it into Omie's accounts payable automatically once approved. Nothing reaches the ERP before someone with authority signs off.

The bottleneck this solves

Payment authorization is where most finance operations lose control. The entry exists in the ERP, but the decision behind it lives somewhere untraceable.

  • Requests arriving by message with no standard format
  • Entries posted first and questioned later
  • No record of who approved a given payment
  • Finance retyping approved requests into the ERP

What the request captures

  • Title and description of what is being paid
  • Value of the request
  • Cost center, which determines who approves it
  • Company — each of your Omie accounts can be brought into one panel
  • Category, supplier, and bank account, pulled from records already registered
  • Forecast date and due date

How to configure it in Jestor

  1. Open a new request through the customizable form in Jestor, filling the same fields you would fill directly in Omie.
  2. Mark as mandatory every field the ERP requires for an accounts payable entry.
  3. Set the cost center, which defines who receives and reviews the request.
  4. Let the request enter the approval queue rather than posting immediately.
  5. Review it on the Kanban board, where the card carries everything needed to approve or reject.
  6. Approve — the entry posts into Omie's accounts payable automatically.

Why choose Jestor alongside Omie?

Jestor integrates with Omie natively, with no middleware in between, which is why the approved request appears in accounts payable without a sync step. Teams moving off spreadsheets also get a table view with every submitted field, alongside the board.

The dashboard closes the loop: pending, approved, and rejected volume, due dates of approved requests so none are forgotten, and approved value broken down by cost center.
