Workflow Automation

Procurement Approval

Purchase requests are approved inconsistently depending on who happens to review them and how busy they are.

Business Situation

A department needs to purchase goods or services above a threshold requiring formal approval.

Current Pain

Requests route inconsistently, and it's unclear whether budget was checked before approval was granted.

Recommended Workflow

Complete

The request checks against available budget automatically, routes to the correct approval level based on amount, and produces a traceable purchase order once approved.

Governance Controls

  • Budget check before approval
  • Approval matrix by amount
  • Purchase order audit trail

Expected Business Benefit

Consistent, budget-aware procurement approvals instead of case-by-case judgment calls.
