Can Auto-Rejection Rules Be Excluded?

Short Answer

  • ❌ You cannot exclude individual invoices from auto-rejection rules.

  • ❌ You cannot exclude individual vendors from auto-rejection rules.

  • ✅ You can exclude departments from certain auto-rejection rules.

  • ✅ Admin users can override an auto-rejection after it occurs.


Invoice-Level Exclusions

Individual invoices cannot be excluded from auto-rejection rules.

If an invoice meets the criteria of a configured rule, it will be automatically rejected.


Vendor-Level Exclusions

Vendor-specific exclusions are not supported.

Auto-rejection rules apply consistently to all vendors within the configured scope.


Department-Level Exclusions

Departments can be excluded.

If a department is excluded:

  • Invoices under that department will not trigger the applicable auto-rejection rule

  • All other departments will continue to follow the rule as configured
