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.
Platform Access and Navigation
In Emburse Spend, Emburse AP pages are listed directly under the Accounts Payable heading in the left navigation. Select the page you need.

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.
For the Accounts Payable permission options you can assign when configuring Emburse Spend user accounts, and how Member, Manager, and Admin roles relate to Accounts Payable access, see Roles and Permissions: Admins, Managers, and Members.
