Accounts payable that enforces approvals and keeps spend visible

AP breaks when approvals are informal, vendor terms are unclear, and payments happen without a consistent audit trail. Sanka is designed to standardize procure-to-pay controls while keeping execution fast.

A
Approval rules you can trust

Route bills by amount, department, vendor, or policy thresholds with clear reviewers and history.

B
Spend visibility

See what is pending approval, scheduled for payment, or overdue without waiting for month-end.

C
Audit-ready workflows

Every change, approval, and payment event is logged so finance can answer questions quickly.

Standardize bill intake and approvals

  • Centralize vendor and payment details with explicit ownership
  • Enforce approval rules for new vendors, large purchases, and exceptions
  • Track bill states (received, under review, approved, scheduled, paid)
  • Keep supporting documents and notes connected to the record
Common AP risk Typical root cause What to standardize
Duplicate payments Duplicate bill entry or unclear ownership Single bill record and state transitions
Out-of-policy spend Informal approvals Rules and thresholds with reviewers
Late fees No visibility into due dates Scheduled workflows and reminders
Audit friction Missing history Immutable audit trail and attachments

Built for procure-to-pay reality

AP is not just bills. It is purchasing controls, approvals, and reconciliation.

D
PO and receiving alignment

Connect purchase orders, receipts, and bills so mismatches surface early.

E
Vendor controls

Treat vendor changes as governed updates with approvals and history.

F
Clear spend reporting

Category and department reporting built on consistent inputs, not manual tags.

Governance and auditability are first-class

AP workflows are controls. Make them explicit so you can scale without surprises.

G
Role-based access

Limit who can create vendors, edit payment details, or approve exceptions.

H
Audit log

See approvals, edits, and payment execution steps with timestamps and owners.

I
Approval thresholds

Define thresholds for departments, vendors, or spend categories with consistent enforcement.

Frequently asked questions

Can AP approvals be customized by department or amount?
Yes. The intent is to encode approval rules and thresholds so exceptions route automatically and are auditable.
How do we reduce duplicate payments?
Use a single bill record with explicit states and ownership. Duplicate entries and edits should be visible before payment is executed.
Is there a full audit trail?
Every state change, approval, and payment event is logged so finance can trace the end-to-end workflow.
