Configuring approval **alçadas** by cost center means requests route automatically to the right approver based on which budget they draw from — not on who happens to be available. In **Jestor**, this runs natively connected to **Omie**, with alçadas configurable by cost center, value, or hierarchy.

Cost-center approval usually breaks down for a simple reason: the rule exists informally, in someone's head, instead of being enforced by the system. That's where requests start bouncing between the wrong people.

## What makes cost-center approval unreliable

- Rules that live in someone's memory instead of being enforced by the system
- Requests routed to the wrong approver because the hierarchy isn't codified
- No visibility into how much of a cost center's budget is already committed
- Manual selection of cost center, prone to human error

## How alçada configuration works by cost center

- Define approval thresholds per **cost center**, per value, or by combining both
- Requests route automatically to the correct approver based on those rules
- Connected fields can surface the cost center's remaining budget at submission time
- Approved requests post directly into **Omie**, tagged to the right cost center

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- Native **Omie** integration means no intermediary tool between approval and the ledger
- Alçadas can combine cost center, value, and organizational hierarchy in one rule set
- Setup for a new Omie connection typically takes about five minutes
- Everything stays auditable — who approved, under which rule, and when

| Approval variable | What it controls                    |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------- |
| Cost center       | Which budget the request draws from |
| Value threshold   | Which approval level is required    |
| Hierarchy         | Who is authorized to approve        |
