# Approving an invoice from the app

> Learn how to approve an invoice from the app in ServiceM8.

In this lesson you will learn how to approve an invoice directly within the mobile app. You must have permission to use the Invoicing feature in ServiceM8 - by default, Business Owners and Finance staff have this capability.

## From the main screen, tap More... then tap Invoicing
