How to Configure Authorization Tiers by Department in a Management System

Configuring authorization tiers by department means creating specific approval rules for each area of the company — with different limits, approvers, and workflows for marketing, operations, IT, and HR — within a centralized system that applies these rules automatically.

Why a Single Authorization Tier for the Entire Company Doesn't Work

Each department has different dynamics. Marketing approves campaigns; operations approves supply purchases; IT approves software licenses. Applying a single policy to everything creates either excessive bureaucracy or lack of control — depending on the department.

How to Structure Area-Specific Authorization Tiers

For each department, define:

Types of transactions requiring approval (purchases, services, reimbursements, contracts)
Value ranges with the corresponding approver at each level
Who substitutes the approver in case of absence
Maximum approval deadline before automatic escalation
What information is mandatory in requests from that area

How to Configure in the Management System

Jestor allows you to create independent approval workflows per department, each with its own rules, responsible parties, and authorization ranges — all managed in a single platform.

Practical steps:

Map the approval types for each department
Create a separate approval workflow for each area (or a unified workflow with branches by area)
Configure authorization rules by value within each departmental workflow
Define approvers and substitutes for each area
Enable automatic notifications and deadline-based escalation
