What This App Does Not Do
Read this before you buy. Everything below is something the app deliberately leaves to another app or to you.
It does not block posting by itself.
Blocking is the approval state applied to the document by the engine.
It does not write entries.
Approval is a decision; posting stays the accountant's action.
It needs OmniApproval.
This is the accounting bridge to that engine.
Thresholds live in the approval type.
The request carries the amount; the rule that routes it is configuration.
Works Well With
Apps from the same stack, built to fit this one:
Accounting Foundation
The accounting layer it plugs into.
