# Purchase Approval Workflow Software | Multi-Level



> Configurable purchase approval workflow. Replace informal email approvals with a professional system. Sourced automates your procurement flow.



## Purchase Activation and Approval

Configurable approval workflows by amount, category, or department. Eliminate informal email approvals with automatic routing and full traceability.

## Problem & solution

**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.

**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

**Q: Can I have different approval levels based on the amount?**

A: 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.

**Q: What happens if the approver is on vacation?**

A: You can configure substitute approvers and automatic escalation rules so that purchases are never blocked by someone's absence.

**Q: Can I set different approval workflows per department?**

A: 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.

**Q: Is there a mobile app for approvals?**

A: 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.

**Q: How does Sourced handle urgent purchases?**

A: 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.
