Approval Workflow
Definition
A structured process where a document or expense goes through a defined chain of approvers. In CEBRIC, workflows are configurable by department, amount, and document type, with automatic notifications at each stage.
Practical example
A site expense is automatically sent to the site manager for approval. If it exceeds $500,000, it also requires the project manager's approval.
