What is approval processes?

Approval processes are structured workflows designed to manage and track the progress of a request or document through a series of required approvals. They are commonly used in organizations to ensure compliance, enforce policies, and maintain accountability. These processes typically involve routing a request to specific individuals or groups who are authorized to review and approve it. The system records each step of the approval process, including who approved the request, when they approved it, and any comments they may have provided. Examples include expense reports, purchase orders, and contract reviews.
