Bills to Approve
Team filtering can also been applied to the Bills to Approve view:
| Team | Client Assignment | Behaviour |
| Manager | The user is set as Manager at the Client Level | When filtered by Manager, the user will see all bills raised on their clients |
| Assignment Partner | The user is set as Assingnment Partner for specific assignments | When filtered by Assingmnet Partner, the users will see all bills raised on their assignments |
| Assignment Manager | The user is set as Assingnment Manger for specific assignments | When filtered by Assingmnet Manager, the users will see all bills raised on their assignments |
| Bill Approver | The user is set as Bill Approver at Client Level | When filtered by Bill Approver, the user will see all bills raised on their clients |
| Bill Approver | The user is set as Bill Approver for specific assignments | When filtered by Bill Approver, the user will see all bills raised on their assignments |
Where cross client/assignment billing has been used, the team members for the child clients/assignments will only see the bill if they are also members in the parent’s team.
Note: Repeat bills are not displayed when filtering by Manager, Assignment Manager or Bill Approver, due to repeat bills are associated with the bill creator and not bill approver.
