A laptop or a software licence takes a few questions on a form finance designed, rather than an email to whoever might know. Each request carries line items, quotes and the budget line it should come out of. Small amounts stop at the manager, larger ones go on to finance and then management, and nobody can approve their own. Once it’s bought, the real cost is recorded next to the estimate, and the approved money is committed in the Budget & Spend Tracker, which installs alongside. - REQUEST What is wanted, in line items, with the quotes that priced them - FORMS Forms finance designs, so asking to buy something takes a few questions - ROUTING The amount decides the approvers, so nobody has to know the policy - SEPARATION Approving your own request is refused rather than discouraged - TRAIL The decision trail is written by the approvals themselves, not by hand - ACTUAL What was really bought, recorded against what was estimated Use it to Approve purchases Approve spending Useful for Finance teams Managers Everyone ## A closer look.
