To create an approval system with tiers without depending on IT, you define who approves what by value and cost center in an automated flow — [Jestor](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com) does this with approval-tier flows configurable without code.

## Why loose approvals stall the operation

Approval by email or WhatsApp leaves no trace. No one knows who approved, when, or whether it passed the right tier.

Without a clear rule, requests sit on someone's desk or skip stages that should exist. And auditing later becomes a nightmare.

A tiered system solves this: each request follows the correct hierarchy automatically, with a complete history.

## What a good approval-tier flow needs

- An approval rule by value and by cost center
- More than one tier level when needed
- Clear approve and reject buttons
- An auditable history of every decision
- Automatic notification for whoever needs to act

## How to build this without IT

- Use a requests-with-approvers template as the base
- Define the value ranges that trigger each tier
- Configure the 1st and 2nd approval by trigger
- Add cost center and justification fields
- Connect to the ERP to send the approved entry
