Purchase Request Approval Workflow

This purchase approval workflow flowchart routes a submitted request according to its amount. Requests under $500 go directly to manager review. Requests from $500 to $5,000 first receive director review, then manager review if approved. Requests over $5,000 go through VP review and CFO sign-off before reaching the manager. Each review includes an explicit decision: an approval moves the request forward and a rejection ends it. A manager approval generates the purchase order.

Was diese Zeichnung zeigt

Die dahinterstehenden Entscheidungen verstehen.

01Amount routing

The first decision sends requests under $500, from $500 to $5,000, and over $5,000 to different approval paths.

02Escalated review

Mid-tier requests require director review; high-tier requests require VP review followed by CFO sign-off.

03Manager control

Every approved path reaches manager review before a purchase order is generated.

04Explicit decisions

Director, VP, CFO, and manager review each have approved and rejected outcomes.

05Single terminal

All rejected requests end at one clearly labeled rejection terminal.

Use this workflow for a simple purchase-approval policy with the shown thresholds. Align thresholds, delegated authority, budget checks, and exception handling with the organization’s actual policy.

FAQ

Häufige Fragen

Why does every approved path go to the manager?

The diagram makes manager approval the final control that authorizes purchase-order generation.

What happens when a director, VP, or CFO rejects a request?

Each rejected branch ends at the same Request Rejected terminal.

Why is there a manager decision after manager review?

It makes the manager’s approved and rejected outcomes explicit instead of implying that every review automatically approves.

Does the flow include budget validation?

No. Add a budget-check decision before routing if the organization requires available-funds verification.
