To structure **approval tiers for recurring expenses**, the way forward is defining, by cost center or category, who approves each type of spend that repeats month after month. In **Jestor**, that authorization tier is configured in the **Approvals** app inside **Gestão Financeira**, with no need to reconfigure it for every new request.

## Why do recurring expenses deserve their own tier?

Rent, software subscriptions, and contracted services repeat every month, but many companies treat every occurrence as a brand-new approval, which means repeating work for the same kind of decision.

## What companies are trying to solve?

- Approving the same expense category repeatedly with no fixed rule
- No single, predictable owner for each type of recurring expense
- No alert when a recurring expense changes in amount
- Difficulty auditing the approval history of a given cost center

## How to configure the tier by cost center?

The tier is defined in the cost center's registry and applies to every request linked to it.

| Tier criterion   | How it's defined             | Advantage                                        |
| ---------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Cost center      | One fixed owner per area     | Predictable approval for recurring expenses      |
| Amount range     | Conditional rule in the flow | Automatically escalates for out-of-range amounts |
| Expense category | Linked to the type of spend  | Standardizes similar approvals                   |
