Enable advanced line approval

Advanced line approval lets a multi-line invoice run separate approval flows for each line simultaneously, based on each line’s dimensions. Enable it once in the global approval settings.

What does advanced line approval do?

When enabled, Nordflow evaluates each invoice line independently. Lines assigned to different cost centers (or other dimensions) each get their own approval flow running in parallel. The invoice is only fully approved when every line has been signed off. Single-line invoices and invoices where all lines share the same approver group are unaffected.

Where: Approval flow → Groups and settings → Approval settings

1. In the left sidebar, click Approval flow.
2. Click Groups and settings.
3. Select the Approval settings tab.
4. Find the Enable advanced line flow toggle and switch it on.
5. Click Save.

When to enable

Enable only for clients whose invoices regularly span multiple cost centers and who need each cost center approved by different people. Leave off for simpler setups — single-approver flows do not benefit from this feature.

Caution

If any approver rejects a single line, the entire document is rejected — including lines that other groups have already approved. All parallel approvals are reset and the full flow must restart. Make sure approvers know to leave a note and ask the bookkeeper to correct an individual line rather than rejecting the document outright.
