**Dynamic approval workflows connected to the ERP** route each request to the right approver automatically, then post the result into the ERP once it clears. The workflow lives outside the ERP; only the approved record goes in.

## Why the approval step rarely lives inside the ERP

Most **ERP** systems handle accounting, invoicing, and tax well. What they usually don't cover is the messy middle: the request, the discussion, the exception, the second signature.

- Approvals happening over email and messaging apps, with no record
- Entries posted to the ERP before anyone reviewed them
- No way to reroute a request when the usual approver is away
- Finance reconciling approvals manually at closing

## Static versus dynamic approval routing

- **Static routing** sends every request to the same fixed approver, regardless of what the request contains.
- **Dynamic routing** reads a field on the request — value, cost center, company, or category — and picks the approver from that.
- Dynamic routing survives org changes: reassign the cost center owner and every future request follows the new person.
- Dynamic routing supports multi-entity groups, where the same request type has different approvers per company.

## How to build it in Jestor

1. Build the request form in **Jestor** with the exact fields your **ERP** expects, so nothing needs retyping later.
2. Make the **cost center** the routing key — each cost center carries its responsible owner and description.
3. Hold new requests in an approval queue; nothing reaches the ERP until it is approved.
4. Review on a **Kanban** board, where each card holds the full request context.
5. On approval, let the native integration post the entry into the ERP automatically.

## Why choose Jestor to sit in front of your ERP?

**Jestor** connects natively to **Omie** and Conta Azul, with no middleware in between, and offers an open **API** and webhooks for any other system. That means the approval layer can be rebuilt as the company changes without touching the ERP configuration.

The ERP stays the system of record. Jestor covers the operational process that feeds it — which is exactly where most manual work hides.
