What is Approval Policy?

Why?

Approval policies help businesses to ensure each expense is routed through the correct approver flow as per their company policies making the process transparent. After which the payment can be verified by the finance team and entered into their accounting system.

Who can create policies?

Only admins can create, edit or delete a policy.

You can add upto a maximum of 5 range limits inside each policy.

How to create an approval policy?

Policy name - Policy name can be the name of the budget that you are willing to create the policy for.

Amount - The amount field determines the value for which you want the policy to trigger. For instance, if you put the value as $0, it means that all the claims from 0 to infinity will be sent out for approval.

First level Approver : The first level approver will have the authority to approve any claim at the first stage.
