How to create dynamic thresholds that change based on value and cost center

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
