A sub sent me a bill, how do I review and approve it?
When a sub or vendor bills you, you can approve it, request changes, or update its accounting details before scheduling payment.
When a subcontractor or vendor bills you through Beam, you'll review it and either approve it, request changes, or update its accounting details. Here's how it works.
- Anytime a sub or vendor submits a bill, you'll get an email notification. Click Review bill to open it.
- That takes you straight to the bill in Beam, where you can review the details on the Overview screen.
- From here you can click Approve bill, or click More for additional options.
- More lets you request changes or update the line item accounting codes. Note: You can't directly edit or void a bill that was created by a vendor or subcontractor. If something needs to change, use Request changes to send it back to them.
- If you choose to request changes, you can enter a proposed amount and add comments.
- When you're ready, click Send request to send it back to your subcontractor.
- Once the bill is approved, you can schedule payment at any time using Schedule payment.
