Get Started with Accounts Payable

Emburse AP is integrated into Emburse Spend and Emburse Professional, giving finance teams a single place to intake, route, review, and manage invoices without leaving the core platform.

In the workspace, users can select Emburse AP pages directly from the main navigation and move across operational queues and master data/configuration areas in one continuous workflow.

Permission-Based Page Access

Your organization determines which Emburse AP permissions are assigned to each user. The Emburse AP pages and actions available to a user depend on those assigned permissions, not on product roles alone.

The Emburse AP pages available to a user depend on the permissions assigned by your organization. Accounts Payable access on Emburse Professional is assigned separately from Standard User and Special Role Permissions.

For the Accounts Payable permission options you can assign when configuring Emburse Professional user accounts, and how expense user roles relate to Accounts Payable access, see Expense User Roles Overview.
