Platform capability

Workflow & Approvals

Route every request through the correct approval chain automatically, based on sector, action type, amount, and configured risk conditions.

The business problem

  • Approval routing is manual and inconsistent across units.
  • High-risk actions sometimes bypass the authority that should review them.

Key capabilities

  • Configurable multi-level approval routing (Initiator → Level 1 → Level 2 → Level 3)
  • Automatic threshold-based escalation alongside manual escalation with a reason
  • Configurable SLA timers with reminder notifications on breach
  • Explicit workflow state machine, not free-text status labels

Example workflow

  1. 1A contract value exceeds the Level 1 threshold configured for that sector.
  2. 2The system automatically escalates to Level 2 without requiring resubmission.

Security and audit considerations

Every action within this capability writes to the platform's append-only audit log — actor, action type, timestamp, and before/after state — independent of the business record. See Security & Trust for the full model.
