# Glossary

> The words Glimps uses, and exactly what each one means.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Administration">
    One set of books, matched to one Exact Online administration. Settings, rules, and invoices belong to it. See [Several administrations](/insights/administrations).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Approver">
    Somebody who approves or declines invoices assigned to them. Called an authorizer in some screens. They do not process or book invoices.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Booking rule">
    A rule that fixes the ledger account and VAT code for a supplier. See [Coding](/invoices/coding).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Case">
    One thing that needs settling about an invoice, such as a purchase order difference or an unknown bank account. Self-driving opens cases, asks about them, and closes them. See [Self-driving](/self-driving/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Change request">
    An approver's question to change something before they approve, made with **Ask for a change**. The invoice waits, and comes back to that approver after the answer. Only when your company books after approval. See [Booking before or after approval](/approvals/book-after-approval#change-request).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Contract occurrence">
    One period of a contract, with what was expected for it and what actually arrived. See [Expected invoices](/contracts/expected-invoices).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Description">
    Your own explanation of a ledger account or VAT code, written so that both a colleague and Glimps can tell what belongs on it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Due date">
    The date an invoice must be paid. By default Glimps works it out from the payment condition. With **Use the due date on the invoice** on, it takes the date printed on the invoice. See [Booking defaults](/booking/defaults#due-date).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Flow">
    An ordered set of approval steps. See [Flows, groups, and rules](/approvals/flows-and-rules).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Hold">
    A deliberate park. The invoice stays where it is and automatic processing leaves it alone. See [Notes and holds](/invoices/notes-and-holds).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Learning from other administrations">
    A switch in the organization overview. With it on, an administration that does not know how to code a line can learn from the other administrations in your organization. See [Organization overview](/insights/firm-portal#learning).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Luca">
    The assistant. Luca reads your mailbox, answers questions in the chat, and proposes rules. See [Luca](/ai/luca).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="MCP">
    The standard that lets an AI assistant such as Claude or ChatGPT connect to Glimps. See [AI assistants](/ai/mcp).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Organization overview">
    The page for everything that spans more than one administration: what was booked, who has access, learning, and the subscription. Useful for an accounting firm with many clients. See [Organization overview](/insights/firm-portal).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Purchase entry">
    The booking in Exact Online that came back after Glimps sent an invoice. See [Archive](/booking/archive).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Relation">
    A supplier, as it exists in Exact Online.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Sales invoice">
    An invoice you send to a customer. Where your organization has them, Glimps books sales invoices in your sales journal. See [Sales invoices](/sales-invoices).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Tolerance">
    How much difference between an invoice and a purchase order you accept, as an amount, a percentage, or both. See [Matching](/purchase-orders/matching#tolerances).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Your offer">
    A price agreed with your organization. It shows on the plan page as **Your offer**, and only your organization sees it. See [Plans and trials](/billing/plans).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Zero-touch">
    An invoice where arrival, supplier, coding, and sending all happened without a person. Approval steps do not count against it. See [Insights](/insights/overview).
  </Accordion>
