How are order approvals and budget limits implemented technically?
Multi-tier approvals mirror your customer's purchasing organization in the shop. An orderer creates a cart that is automatically routed to the department head or procurement manager for approval, depending on the order value. Only after approval is the order placed. This way the customer retains ordering convenience at the decentralized level and control at the central level.
Budget limits can be defined per department, cost center or individual; when exceeded, an automatic escalation kicks in. All approval actions are logged and are therefore traceable for internal audits and compliance documentation.
Such procurement processes are a core topic of our B2B portals. What your approval hierarchy should look like, we capture in the initial consultation.
