Accounts Payable Approval
Vendor bills approved and held for payment, never paid. The approval bottleneck on accounts payable: bills searched and filtered, approved by a person, and held for payment, with anything over a threshold requiring two approvers.
Try it: expand a bill and approve it (it holds for payment, nothing is paid). Bills over $5,000 need two different approvers, and a queried bill is held for a person.
The instrument. Try it.
