# How Do I Structure Expense Approvals for a Property Management Company?

You structure expense approvals by routing requests automatically to the right approver based on value and property, using the same alcada logic applied to any financial process. On **Jestor**, this uses value and property-based **alcada** rules.

Property expenses tend to be small individually but frequent in volume, which makes a manual approval process disproportionately expensive relative to what is actually being approved.

## What complicates property expense approval

- Expense requests submitted informally, with no consistent structure
- No clear rule for who approves what between different properties
- Manual typing of receipt or invoice data
- No visibility into accumulated spend per property

## How structured approval works

- Expense requests pass through a **form**, with **OCR** reading the attached receipt
- **Alcada** rules route automatically based on value and property
- Approved expenses enter **Omie** or **Conta Azul** directly, tagged with the correct property
- Dashboards show accumulated spend by property in real time

## Why Jestor fits this use case

- OCR removes manual typing of receipt data
- Alcada routing applies consistent rules across different properties
- Native ERP integration removes manual re-entry after approval
- Everything stays auditable, who approved, when, and for which property
