The lack of purchase invoice authorisation or GRN via the web portal is stopping me from investing in the commercials package at the moment.  If this functionality becomes available please let me know.

We used to have online authorisation for purchase and non-purchase invoices when we used PS Financials and it worked brilliantly. I was surprised that a company like SAGE does not have this feature particularly for 200c which is cloud based. All invoices came into the Finance Office were input, scanned and an automatic email sent to the budget holder to authorise. They clicked on a link within the email, looked at the invoice (because they were all scanned in) and selected authorise or reject. They had the ability to add comments if rejected. Once authorised they were automatically posted or flagged for further authorisation. It also meant that they were processed for payment much quicker, the finance team new exactly which invoices had been received because they were all recorded on the software and could respond to supplier payment queries and because the invoices never left the Finance Office they didn't go missing!
