Approval Workflow
Configure and manage transaction approval processes
How Approvals Work
When a transaction is submitted, it routes through your organization's approval workflow. The workflow determines who needs to approve based on transaction value, risk score, product type, and destination.
Default Workflow
Approval Rules
Configure rules that determine approval routing:
Value-Based Routing
Transactions above certain value thresholds require higher-level approval. Example: >$100K requires Director approval, >$1M requires VP approval.
Risk-Based Routing
High-risk transactions (score >50) automatically route to senior compliance officers. Critical-risk transactions require executive approval.
Product-Based Routing
USML items may require additional technical review. Certain product categories can be configured to always require specific approvers.
Country-Based Routing
Exports to specific countries can require additional approvals. Sensitive destinations trigger enhanced review workflows.
Approver Actions
Approvers can take the following actions on a pending transaction:
- Approve - Transaction proceeds to next step or completion
- Reject - Transaction is denied with required justification
- Request Changes - Return to submitter for modifications
- Escalate - Route to higher-level approver
- Add Conditions - Approve with specific conditions attached
