Approval Chain Recalculation

Approvals
Primary · Procurement
Secondary · Finance

When a threshold changes or a cost center moves, a static approval form puts the wrong people on the wrong request. The chain has to keep up with the request as it changes.

Flo watches in-flight requests for changes to amount, supplier, or cost center, recomputes the correct chain against your policy in the workflows, and reroutes only the steps that need to change. It tells everyone affected what moved and why.

Flo recomputes and reroutes. Approvers still approve. You own the policy and change it yourself in minutes, no support ticket and no consultant. The chain always matches the current request, with no silent gaps.

  • Use Recompute chain to validate the request and flag any exception.
  • Use Reroute steps to route the chain to the right approvers, in order.
