What's new at Payhawk

We’ve added a powerful enhancement to your approval workflows! You can now set workflow conditions based on Supplier, giving you more pro-active control over approvals.

• Prevent supplier-less POs by adding Supplier field "is empty" as a condition to your workflow, ensuring supplier onboarding by the finance team when needed.
• Customize approval flows based on specific suppliers. For example, you can reduce unnecessary approvals for frequent commuting allowance suppliers (e.g., Uber) while requiring extra approvals for new suppliers.
• Use new operators "is empty" and "is not empty" also on conditions by Team, Customer Fields and Category.

🚨 Note: Supplier conditions are not available on Multi Entity level yet.

This enhancement ensures that expense requests remain accurate and aligned with approval workflows by automatically returning them to employees for confirmation and re-approval when key fields are modified.
