    Hi all,

    I use Urbanise to run our self-managed building, so know the back-end pretty well.

    It has a payments “Approval setup” screen with comprehensive options including:

    • Set a $$ threshold for approval

    • Set the number of committee members needed to approve

    • ‘Whitelist’ suppliers with individual $ thresholds (so, for example, regular bills like power and cleaning don’t need committee approval).

    So I recommend compiling the budgeted items you’re happy to have paid without approval; set reasonable limits on others and requirements for committee pre-approval on any categories you want to eyeball first. Approve plan as a committee and send it to the SM.
