Settings → Approvals → Guardrails
Open Guardrails in your approval rules settings.
Click Add guardrail.
Choose whether the invoice is assigned to a specific user or team.
Enter the threshold amount in your organisation currency.
Optionally narrow the rule to suppliers, ledger accounts, or analytic accounts.
Save the rule when the assignment and threshold are set.
Leave the optional filters empty to apply the rule to every invoice above the threshold.
Open the existing guardrail in the list.
Review the threshold and optional filters before changing them.
Update the assignment to a different user or team if needed.
Save your changes to apply the new rule.
To remove it, open the row actions and choose Delete, then confirm.
A guardrail needs either a user or a team assignment before you can save it.
Use guardrails for extra approval when an invoice crosses a threshold.
Treat pending-approval reasons as separate checks before accounting sync.
Some reasons can be skipped in accounting connection settings.
Non-skippable reasons still block sync until the invoice is fixed or approved.
If a reason depends on Approval rules, adjust the rule instead of the invoice.
Blocking reasons are different from approval routing: they can stop sync even when an invoice looks ready.
Set either a user or a team assignment.
Enter a threshold amount above zero.
Make sure you are an admin or owner.
Check whether the invoice amount is actually above the threshold.
Remove overly narrow supplier, ledger, or analytic filters.
Confirm the rule is assigned to the right user or team.
Check the pending-approval reason shown on the invoice.
Fix the invoice data, then try again.
If the reason is skippable, review your accounting connection settings.
Contact Cashfeed support if a blocking reason persists after the invoice is corrected.
