Purchase Activation and Approval.
Configurable approval workflows by amount, category, or department. Eliminate informal email approvals with automatic routing and full traceability.
The problem
Purchase approvals are managed via email or messaging apps. There is no formal record, approvers forget, and urgent purchases are delayed for days waiting for an 'ok' that never comes.
The solution
Sourced offers fully configurable multi-level approval workflows. Each request is automatically routed to the correct approver based on amount, category, or cost center. Everything is recorded and traceable.
Configurable approval levels by amount, category, or department
Automatic notifications to approvers with one-click approve or reject
Complete record of every approval for audits
How purchase activation works.
Configurable workflows
Define approval rules by amount, purchase type, cost center, or any criteria your company needs.
One-click approval
Approvers receive a notification and can approve or reject directly from email or the platform.
Automatic escalation
If an approver doesn't respond in time, the request is automatically escalated to the next level.
Questions about purchase approval.
Can I have different approval levels based on the amount?
Yes. You can configure rules such as: purchases under $1,000 are automatically approved, between $1,000 and $10,000 require department head approval, and over $10,000 need management approval.
What happens if the approver is on vacation?
You can configure substitute approvers and automatic escalation rules so that purchases are never blocked by someone's absence.
Can I set different approval workflows per department?
Yes. Sourced lets you configure independent approval workflows for each department, cost center, or purchase category. Engineering purchases can follow a different path than office supplies.
Is there a mobile app for approvals?
Approvers receive email notifications with one-click approve or reject buttons. They can also access the full platform from any mobile browser to review details before deciding.
How does Sourced handle urgent purchases?
You can configure express approval rules for urgent purchases — for example, automatic approval for purchases under a certain amount, or a fast-track workflow that skips intermediate levels when flagged as urgent.
