Hierarchical Approval is a valuable feature of Nexus Storefront that can greatly benefit organisations with more complex approval processes. By providing up to three levels of approval, this feature ensures that orders are thoroughly reviewed and approved before they are finalised. This can help prevent unauthorised or unnecessary purchases, and can also help ensure that purchases are in line with the organisation’s budget and priorities.
- It allows users to initiate orders by selecting products and setting quantities using standard Storefront interface
- Up to three levels of approval can be set up to approve orders
- Approval managers can finalise the order or send it for upper approval levels to approve
- Users at each level can view what’s being initiated or pending approval using their own interface, streamlining the process and reduce communication overhead
- Approval managers can place order on end user’s behalf
- If a lower-level approval user is absent, an upper-level user can step in and approve and finalise the order directly, preventing delays in the approval process
- Clear audit trail of what’s been ordered and what’s been approved available
Overall, the Hierarchical Approval feature is a unique and valuable addition to the Nexus Storefront platform that can help organisations more effectively manage their online ordering and approval processes. The clear audit trail of the process is also an important feature that can help ensure transparency and accountability in the approval process.
