Approving internal investments means a proposal — a new tool, a project, an equipment purchase — goes through defined review levels tied to its budget, with the decision and its rationale preserved for future reference. In **Jestor**, this connects project or investment records with **alçada**\-based approval routing tied to **Omie**.

Internal investment decisions carry more long-term weight than routine expenses, which makes an undocumented, informal approval process a real gap — not just an inconvenience.

## What makes investment approval different from routine expenses

- Larger values that typically require multiple stakeholders to weigh in
- A rationale or business case that needs to be preserved, not just a yes/no decision
- Budget tracking that spans the life of the investment, not a single transaction
- Longer approval cycles that still need visibility into where they stand

## How structured investment approval works

- Investment proposals connect to a **project** or budget record with full context attached
- **Alçada** rules route the proposal based on value and organizational level
- The rationale, discussion, and decision stay attached to the record permanently
- Approved investments post into **Omie**, tied to the relevant project or cost center

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Investment records stay connected to the ongoing project, not just a one-time transaction
- Documentation and rationale are preserved alongside the approval decision
- SLA tracking shows how long a proposal has been under review
- Native Omie integration keeps the financial side aligned with the operational record

| Investment approval element | What stays documented                   |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Business case               | Attached to the record permanently      |
| Approval decision           | Tied to the specific proposal and value |
