How it works
From request to decision, without the routing gap.
1. Request submitted
Map your Delegation or Schedule of Authority for each Strategic Business Unit (SBU) and function, for budgeted, excess or non-budgeted approvals.
2. DOA / SOA rules evaluated
The request is automatically validated against predefined Delegation and Schedule of Authority rules based on SBU, function, budget status and approval thresholds.
3. Approvers automatically identified
The approval task moves automatically to the next approver in accordance with the predefined DOA/SOA, with email notification and a pending task.
4. Approval stages executed
The request routes through the configured multi-level approval workflow, with each stage progressing automatically upon approval.
5. Reminders & auto-forwarding
Reminders are sent to approvers on the schedule your organization configures.
6. Final decision & audit trail
TAT and analytical reports track the time taken at every stage of the procurement approval process.
