Dynamic thresholds are configured in Jestor through automatic conditions at each workflow stage: if the amount is above X and the cost center is Y, the card is redirected to approver Z. All of this is defined visually, without code, and can combine multiple criteria simultaneously.

## Why companies are looking for dynamic thresholds

Companies with more than one department need approvals to reflect the reality of each area. A $10,000 expense in IT may have a different threshold than the same expense in HR.

With static thresholds, the process forces a single standard that doesn't work for everyone. With dynamic thresholds, each rule is adjusted to the company's operational reality.

## What makes static thresholds a problem

- Uniform rules that ignore differences between departments and projects
- Need for manual intervention to redirect requests
- Approvals that unnecessarily escalate to the top of the hierarchy
- Lack of flexibility for urgent situations or exceptions
- Process that needs to be rebuilt when the organizational structure changes

## How the dynamic logic works in Jestor

- Create conditions by field: amount, cost center, expense type, vendor
- For each combination of conditions, define the corresponding approver
- Use connected fields to filter dynamically by department
- Configure value ranges with chained approvers (manager > director > CEO)
- Add automatic notifications for each approval level

## Why Jestor solves this

- Combined conditions (amount + cost center) without code
- Support for connected fields for dynamic logic by department
- Thresholds adjustable by any manager without involving IT
- Routing history automatically recorded for auditing

## FAQ

**Is it possible to combine amount and cost center in the same rule?** Yes. Jestor allows multiple conditions in a single automation.

**What happens when no condition is met?** It's possible to configure a default approver for cases not covered by the rules. Learn more at [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).
