Yes, it's possible to have approval by value and by role at the same time, combining both criteria into a single alçada rule. That means a request might require, for example, approval from the direct manager up to a certain value and, above that, additional approval from a director or a specific department.

Growing companies rarely manage to define alçadas using just one criterion. Value alone ignores the role's context, and role alone ignores the financial weight of the decision. Combining both avoids excessive bureaucracy while also reducing the risk of overly loose approvals.

The challenge is that many ERPs treat alçada as something fixed, hard to adjust without technical support, which locks the company in exactly when it needs flexibility most.

## Why combining value and role makes sense

- It keeps small purchases from going through unnecessary approval levels
- It ensures high expenses, even from senior roles, get a second check
- It reduces bottlenecks by distributing responsibility proportionally
- It increases governance without slowing down day-to-day processes
- It allows for different rules by department, when needed
- It makes auditing easier, since each criterion stays documented

## How to structure these rules in practice

- Define value ranges, for example, up to R$1,000, up to R$10,000, and above that
- Link each range to a role level responsible for approval
- Add cost center as an extra criterion, when it makes sense
- Set up automatic notifications for the right approver in each range
- Review the ranges periodically, as the company grows
- Document the approval history for future reference
