Money Approvals

The inbox where a second person approves large refunds and trust disbursements before the money moves

The second approver's inbox

Where two-person money-out sign-off is completed.

Some money-out actions need a second set of eyes before they happen — a large refund above your configured threshold, and every trust disbursement. The person who requests one (the requester) files it; a second authorized person (the approver) then completes it from the Money Approvals inbox. This article covers the approver's side — where pending requests appear, who can act on them, and what happens when you approve.

Open Money Approvals from the navigation under Sales & Billing, from the command palette, or — most often — by clicking the notification (“Large refund needs a second approver” or “Trust disbursement needs a second approver”), which deep-links you straight to the request waiting on you.

Reviewing a request

Each row shows what is being moved and who asked.

Each pending request lists its Type (Refund or Trust disbursement), the Amount, who requested it, and a Status of Pending, Approved, or Rejected. Pending requests show Approve and Reject buttons.

1

Open the request

Click the notification, or open Money Approvals and find the Pending row.
2

Approve & execute

Choose Approve to confirm. Approving immediately executes the money-out move — the refund is sent or the trust funds are disbursed — and cannot be undone.
3

Or reject

Choose Reject if the request should not proceed. No money moves, and the requester is notified that the request was decided.
Approving moves real money — and cannot be undone
Approving a request executes the underlying money-out move on the spot: a refund is sent to the customer, or trust funds leave the segregated account. There is no undo. To reverse it afterward you would have to issue a new offsetting action. Reject leaves everything untouched.

Who can approve — and the maker-checker rule

The approver is never the person who made the request.

Approving a money-out request requires the matching organization-wide permission: refund approvals need the refund permission and trust disbursements need the trust-disbursement permission — both held at the organization-wide level, which is an administrator-level capability. The inbox only ever shows you the request types you are authorized to act on.

You can't approve your own request
Two-person approval means two different people. If you are the one who requested a refund or disbursement, the Approve and Reject buttons are hidden on your own request and it shows “Awaiting another approver” instead. A second authorized person has to sign off — the system enforces this even if a request somehow reaches your screen.

If approvals aren't enabled yet

A one-time setup state.

If two-person money-out approvals are still being enabled for your organization, the inbox shows a notice that large refunds and trust disbursements are not yet available. Once setup completes, requests begin appearing here for review.
