Approval Workflows

Overview

Set up multi-stage approval processes for critical business operations like purchase orders, stock adjustments, payroll, and discounts. Ensure proper oversight and prevent unauthorized actions.

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Access Workflow Settings

Go to Settings → Approval Workflows from the main menu.

2

Create a Workflow

Click New Workflow. Select the module: Purchase Orders, Stock Adjustments, Payroll, Discounts, or Expenses.

3

Add Approval Stages

Add one or more stages. For each stage, select the approver role (e.g., Manager, Admin, Department Head) and set conditions like minimum amount thresholds.

4

Set Rules

Configure parallel vs. serial approval, escalation timeouts, and delegate rules for when approvers are away.

5

Activate

Toggle the workflow to Active. From now on, actions in that module will require approval before being finalized.

6

Track Approvals

Use the Approvals dashboard to view pending, approved, and rejected requests. Approvers receive email and in-app notifications.

Tips & Best Practices

Tip: Use amount-based rules so small purchases skip approval while large ones require manager sign-off.
Tip: Set up delegates before vacations to prevent approval bottlenecks.
