An automated purchase approval process defines authorization rules, routes requests to the right approvers, and automatically posts records to the ERP — without email, without messaging apps, and without spreadsheets in between.

## Why purchase approvals still bottleneck operations

In most companies, the procurement flow still runs through messages, spreadsheets, and informal approvals. When volume grows, the process fails to scale: requests get lost, approvals are forgotten, and finance has no visibility into what has actually been approved.

What this manual model generates:

- Purchases made without a formal recorded approval
- No traceability for internal audits
- Approvers overwhelmed with no prioritization criteria
- ERP entries made late or never at all

## How to structure purchase approval in a workflow tool

- **Request form:** fields for amount, vendor, cost center, and justification
- **Automatic authorization tier:** low values go to the direct manager; above the threshold, escalated to leadership
- **Approver notification:** WhatsApp or email as soon as the request arrives
- **Approval with justification:** the approver records the decision inside the system
- **Automatic ERP posting:** approved → accounts payable entry created in Omie or Conta Azul

## Why Jestor automates this flow end to end

- Custom forms with amount, vendor, and cost center fields
- Dynamic authorization tiers configured without code, with automatic escalation
- Native Omie ERP integration: approval automatically posts accounts payable
- Native Conta Azul integration via OAuth: same result without middleware
- Full history per purchase, with date, approver, amount, and category recorded
