Bypass Approval:
Even if you're not listed as a team member that can approve a bill, it's still possible to bypass approvals if you have the permissions to do that.

Pressing either version of the Approval button (Bypass or Send for) will then take you to the next bill in line to continue your review & approval process.

Each team member is assigned a Permission Level/Role.
Go to Settings > People to edit permissions.
Team members w/ higher permission levels are able to bypass approvals.
And those w/ higher permissions levels can also directly edit the Approval Workflow:
Click the pencil symbol next to To be approved by.
Here you can add, remove & reassign team members for approval.

First, subtract the amount you'd like to split from the appropriate Line Item.
Then, click the Add Line button to add a new Line Item.
In the new line item, enter the same amount that you subtracted from the prior line item in Step 1. (i.e., the amount you'd like to split by)
Click Save
Click Send for Approval (if it's ready for approval)
