Approval rules
A rule fires on an action — a purchase, a discount, a request. Give it conditions and it applies only when they are met.
Rules that decide what needs sign-off, an approver sequence, and a queue where requests wait — with the history kept.
A purchase over a limit, a discount past the maximum, a leave request — each fires a rule, lands in an approver's queue, and either goes through or comes back with a reason. Nobody chases a signature on a printout.
Yours, pending and resolved.
What is waiting for you, oldest first or most urgent first.
Everything in flight across the business, with who it is waiting on.
Approved and rejected, by whom and when, filterable by period.
Requested by me or approved by me — the personal trail.
One rule is enough to start. Add conditions and sequences as the business gets particular.
A rule fires on an action — a purchase, a discount, a request. Give it conditions and it applies only when they are met.
Amount over a figure, a specific supplier, a specific contact, a specific team member. Combine them or take any.
When several rules match, the higher priority wins — or the highest only, if that is the policy.
One approver, or several in order. The request moves to the next only when the previous has said yes.
A rule that applies only to one team member, one supplier or one contact — the exception, written down.
Raise something for approval directly: what it is, the amount, the priority, and why.
Priority on the request itself, so the queue is not first-come-first-served when it should not be.
Add context when you raise it; add a comment when you decide it. The reason travels with the decision.
A decision with a comment. Rejected comes back to the requester; approved lets the action proceed.
Both names on the record, with the dates, for as long as the business exists.
By date range, type, status, priority — newest or oldest first.
The approval trail for a period as a file, for the auditor or the board.
A request in three moves.
