February 2026 -February 2026 – Payment Approvals, PO Automation & More

This month is all about turning common pain points into clear, actionable workflows.

Updated over a week ago

💳 Payment Approvals

Approving a bill and approving a payment shouldn’t be the same thing.

Now, you can separate cost approval from cash authorization with Payment Approvals.

Now you can:

  • Approve bills without immediately releasing cash

  • Add an extra approval step before money leaves the account

  • Require payment approval based on amounts, jobs, cost codes, roles, or specific users

This gives admins and ownership tighter control over cash flow — without slowing down day-to-day operations.

🔁 Smarter Approval Workflows (POs, Cards, & Jobs)

Approval bottlenecks and missed context lead to overspend, delays, and risk.

Now, you can route approvals based on what’s actually happening — not just static rules.

Now you can route approvals using real-world conditions

Linked PO (Bills)

When PO management gets complex, it’s easy to miss overruns. Now you can:

  • Automatically route a bill when it exceeds its linked PO by a set amount

  • Trigger review when a PO has only X dollars remaining after a bill

Card Transactions (Receipts)

Unmatched receipts are a common source of missing costs. Now you can:

  • Route receipts that are matched to a card transaction

  • Flag receipts that aren’t matched yet and need follow-up

Why this matters:

You catch risk before payments go out without extra manual review or spreadsheet checks.

👷 People-on-Job Approvals (Now Live for Everyone)

Approvals often slow down because they’re routed to people who aren’t close to the work.

Now, you can require approvals from:

  • A specific role and

  • Someone who’s actually assigned to the job

What this unlocks:

PMs and field leaders can approve costs on their own projects, keeping decisions with the people who understand the context — and keeping jobs moving without sacrificing control.

📑 Purchase Orders, Reimagined

PO management gets harder as project size and volume grow. Manual matching and reconciliation don’t scale.

Now, you can manage committed costs with far less effort.

Auto PO Matching

When a bill comes in, Adaptive now automatically attempts to match it to an open PO when references and totals align.

If everything checks out, the bill is linked automatically — no manual matching required.

New Bills Filter: Linked to PO

Now you can instantly:

  • View only bills tied to purchase orders

  • Compare committed vs. actual costs

  • Spot unlinked bills before they cause budget confusion

Why this matters:

You maintain tighter budget control as complexity increases — especially important for larger projects and workflows where POs are critical to protecting margin.

🔄 Procore Cost Sync (Beta)

Procore users — you can now push costs directly from Adaptive into Procore.

In addition to pulling budgets, commitments, and vendors, enabled customers can now push:

  • Bills

  • Expenses

  • Burdened timesheets

Why this matters:

Manage costs in Adaptive while keeping Procore fully up to date, without duplicate entry or reconciliation headaches.

This feature is in beta and rolling out gradually. Reach out to your account manager or our Support Team via in-app chat if you’d like to give it a try.

🔐 More Control Over Financial Visibility

Not everyone needs to see revenue data... but the right people do.

Now, you can control who can view revenue budget information across:

  • WIP

  • Jobs table

  • Job budget table

Result:

Sensitive financial data stays protected, while PMs and leadership still have the visibility they need to make informed decisions.
