How to create authorization rules by amount and category without needing IT

Creating authorization rules by amount and category without IT means configuring, through a visual interface, the conditions that define which approver receives each type of request — without opening a ticket, without writing code, and without waiting for a development sprint. With the right platforms, this configuration takes under an hour and can be adjusted by the operations team itself whenever the rules change.

For a long time, configuring authorization tiers in management systems was technical work. The logic had to be coded, tested, and deployed by someone with backend access. This turned every process adjustment into a project — and processes rarely waited in the development queue to be adjusted.

No-code has changed that reality permanently.

How the combination of authorization by amount and category works

• By amount: purchases up to $3,000 go to the coordinator; between $3,001 and $30,000 go to the manager; above go to the director
• By category: IT purchases have a technical approver regardless of amount; legal expenses go to legal before finance
• Combined: a $25,000 software purchase goes to the IT approver and the finance manager sequentially
• Exceptions: strategic categories — mergers, multi-year contracts — always escalate to the highest level

What to configure to create the rules without IT

• Define the amount ranges and approvers for each range in a simple rules table
• Add the categories and their corresponding technical approvers
• Configure the combined logic: when amount and category intersect, who approves and in what order
• Test the workflow with requests from different combinations before publishing

Why Jestor stands out in this context

Jestor allows creating the entire authorization logic — by amount, by category, combined, or multi-level — through a visual interface, without a single line of code. The operations team configures, adjusts, and publishes without needing IT at any point in the process.

• Visual authorization rule configuration: no code, no IT ticket
• Support for multiple combined criteria: amount, category, cost center, and department
• Rule adjustments without stopping the workflow: changes take effect on the next request
• Integration with Omie and Conta Azul after approval: no manual ERP data entry
