It looks like in 2025.1 release they took away vendor bill approval. I am assuming there is no work around with the role for this? We use this daily...

Where did you see this?

I am not sure if I am reading this right, but I did contact support yesterday and they are looking into it. In short I have a saved search in a portlet to show users in the employee center role what bills they need to approve. That now gives me a permission error. So in my case it seems more like a bill viewing issue. When I sent the user the direct link to the bill they were able to approve it and see it just fine. I tested it myself in my employee center role with a bill I had to approve and I got the same results. Couldn't see the search because of the permission issue, but still able to view the record if I had the direct link.
