Approval limits

You can specify approval limits for:
  • accounts
  • invoices
  • invoice items

You can also set system-wide debit and credit approval limits for all invoices. A debit approval limit applies to invoices that debit the customer's account, that is, invoices that the customer must pay. A credit approval limit applies to invoices that credit the customer's account. The default system-wide approval limits are both $0, which means each invoice must be manually approved.

If you increase an approval limit, ensure you spot-check a variety of automatically approved invoices in each billing run. Spot-checks help ensure that your Smile configuration is working as expected and that your approval limits are suitable for your business.

Note: For more information about changing the approval limit for invoices or invoice items, or the system-wide approval limit, see the Configuration Guide.
