Approval tier: what it is, what it's for, and how to implement it

An approval tier is the process that defines authorization limits by value, role, or department — ensuring each financial decision is made by the right person. With Jestor, you can implement this control without code, integrated with your company's ERP.

What does "approval tier" mean?

A tier is the decision-making authority each person holds within a hierarchy. A manager can approve up to $10K; a director up to $100K; above that it goes to C-level.

Without structured tiers, that control exists only on paper — and in practice, anyone approves anything.

Why approval tiers are essential for SMBs

Prevents improper payments approved by unauthorized parties
Ensures traceability and compliance in expenses
Reduces approval time by automatically routing to the right responsible party
Eliminates bottlenecks created by centralized single-approver models
Prepares the company for audits and organized growth
