Approval flow.

The following approval flows are available in Acubiz expense (EMS)

1. Linear approver (Standard approval flow)
   1. Everything is sent for approval to the approver specified on the user.
   2. If the power of attorney is exceeded, the approver's approver is found in the hierarchy
      1. Approver with power of attorney approves, regardless of part of the hierarchy. The nearest manager (s) can be skipped if they do not have a power of attorney.
2. Linear approval with fixed last approver
   
   1. Everything is sent for approval to the approver specified on the user
   2. If the power of attorney is exceeded, the approver's approver is found in the hierarchy
      1. Approver with power of attorney approves, regardless of part of the hierarchy. The nearest manager (s) can be skipped if they do not have a power of attorney.
   3. The user has a final approver, who must approve AFTER the approver in point 1/2
3. Linear approval with incremental approval
   
   1. Everything is sent for approval to the approver specified on the user
   2. If the power of attorney is exceeded, the approver's approver is found in the hierarchy
   3. All approvers must approve until the last approver with the power of attorney finally approves.
      1. Can therefore land for approval by several approvers until final approval.
4. Dimension approval
   
   1. Everything is sent for approval to the approver, who is specified on the dimension (eg department / diet center / project)
   2. If the power of attorney is exceeded, the approver's approver is found in the hierarchy
   3. Approver with power of attorney approves, regardless of part of the hierarchy.
      1. The nearest manager(s) can be skipped if they do not have a power of attorney.
5. Dimension approval with fixed last approver
   
   1. Everything is sent for approval to the approver, who is specified on the dimension (eg department / diet center / project)
   2. If the power of attorney is exceeded, the approver's approver is found in the hierarchy
      1. Approve with power of attorney approves, regardless of part of the hierarchy. The nearest manager (s) can be skipped if they do not have a power of attorney.
   3. The user has a final approver, who must approve AFTER the approver in point 1/2

Employee power of attorney (de minimis limit)

To remove some of the approval work for the employees' direct manager, you can set a trivial limit for when a transaction must be approved in EMS (Expenses).

1. Default is 0 = everything is sent for approval to the nearest manager / approver.
2. If an amount is specified, eg 200
   1. Anything under 200 is NOT sent for approval but goes directly to finance approval
   2. Everything over 200 is sent for normal approval to the nearest manager / approver.

The amount is set per. user in Acubiz.

Changing the approval methodology requires an Acubiz employee to configure your Acubiz for the desired setup.
