Purchase Approval Software

Approvals that route themselves

Configure custom approval workflows by amount, department, supplier, GL code, location, or any business rule. Purchase requests route automatically to the right approver, escalations keep the purchase approval process moving, and every decision is recorded.

The Challenge

Manual approvals
slow everything down

When purchase approvals happen over email or chat, requests get lost, policies get bypassed, and no one has a clear view of pending approvals. Manual processes slow the approval process and make follow-up harder.

FAQs

Frequently
Asked Questions

Can purchase approval workflows be configured by department and spend threshold?

Yes. Tradogram’s purchase approval software lets you build custom approval workflows using approval thresholds such as amount, department, GL code, category, project, supplier, location, or a combination of criteria. Different purchase requests can follow different approval paths automatically, helping finance and procurement teams enforce approval policies consistently.

What happens when an approver is unavailable?

Tradogram can automatically escalate pending approvals to the next approver or use a configured delegate, depending on your rules. This keeps the approval process moving without manual intervention or follow-up.

Can Tradogram automate purchase order approval workflows?

Yes. Tradogram’s purchase order approval software can route purchase orders through configurable approval rules based on amount, department, supplier, project, location, or other criteria. This keeps the PO approval process structured, records each purchase order approval, and reduces manual data entry as the order moves forward.

Is there an audit trail for every approval decision?

Yes. Every approval, rejection, delegation, and escalation is recorded with who acted, what changed, and when. This gives procurement teams a clear record of the approval process for audit readiness and financial oversight.
