Approval workflows stall on missing context more often than missing money. Typally types what you say straight into BILL — hold a key, talk, let go — so you can dictate anywhere BILL lets you type.
We make Typally, so treat this as a vendor's guide. Where BILL has a built-in option we say so, including when it is the better choice.None. Notes and approval comments are typed.
An approver looking at an invoice for a service they have never heard of has two choices: approve blindly or send it back with a question. Both are bad, and both are caused by an empty note field.
In practice people use it for: Invoice notes, approval comments, vendor context, and the explanation attached to an unusual payment.
Typally runs in the background and types into whatever window has focus, so there is nothing to install inside BILL:
Install, sign in, and it waits in the tray.
Put the cursor in the field you are about to fill — BILL decides where the text lands, not Typally.
Nothing truncates part-way through.
Approval comments are visible to the whole chain. Write them for that audience.
Typally types into BILL's note and comment fields, so the sentence that unblocks an approval costs seconds. It needs no integration with your finance system, which is usually the shortest route to using anything in a controlled environment.
A finance manager starts adding one spoken sentence explaining each unusual invoice. Approval turnaround drops from days to hours because nobody has to ask what the charge is.
Note what the invoice is for in plain language, not the vendor's product name. Approvers know budgets, not vendor catalogues.
Approval comments are visible to the whole chain. Write them for that audience.
No. All fields are typed.
Usually missing context rather than disagreement. The approver cannot tell what they are approving.
Yes — vendor records have note fields like any other.
