What is Approvals?

Approval workflows are a type of business process management (BPM) technology. They automate the process of requesting, reviewing, and granting approvals for various actions, requests, or decisions within an organization. Common uses include purchase order approvals, expense report approvals, access request approvals, document approvals, and change management approvals. These systems typically involve routing requests to designated approvers, providing notifications, tracking the approval status, and logging the entire process for audit purposes. The goals are to improve efficiency, reduce errors, enforce compliance, and provide visibility into the approval process.
