In detail

How Approvals & controls works

Which documents can go through approval in Dino ERP?

Approvals are available for quotations, sales orders, purchase requests, purchase orders, inventory transfers and adjustments, journals, payments, expense claims, timesheets, recruitment requisitions and offers, and rental orders. A document with no matching workflow is approved automatically.

How are approval workflows configured?

A workflow has one or more steps, and conditions decide which workflow applies, such as amount, branch, department or discount percentage. Per-role approval limits cap what an approver can sign off.

  • Multi-step workflows
  • Conditions on amount, branch, department
  • Approval limits per role

Where do approvers act?

Approvers have an inbox of pending tasks with history, and every document shows an approval panel with its steps and status. They add comments to each decision.

Can approvers approve by e-mail safely?

Yes. The notification e-mail carries approve and reject links that are single-use, bound to the approver and valid for 72 hours. Opening a link shows a confirmation page, so mail scanners that pre-fetch links cannot trigger a decision.

  • Single-use links
  • 72-hour expiry
  • Bound to the approver
  • Confirmation page

How does Dino ERP prevent people approving their own work?

Separation-of-duties rules can block self-approval and flag conflicting role assignments. The approval engine refuses a self-approval when a rule says so, and every submission, approval and rejection is written to the audit trail.

Do AI-proposed actions need approval too?

Yes. Actions proposed by AI agents wait as pending actions for a person to approve or reject, so an agent cannot change records on its own.

FAQ

Approvals & controls: questions buyers ask

Can I set different approvers by amount?

Yes. Workflow conditions can use the document amount, and approval limits per role control who may approve what.

Can I approve from my phone?

Yes, through the responsive web app or the e-mail links. There is no native mobile app.

What happens if an approver rejects?

The document returns to its rejected state with the approver’s comment recorded, and the creator is notified.

Do e-mail approval links require an SMTP server?

Yes. Notification e-mails are sent through the SMTP server you configure for your installation.

Is there an audit trail for approvals?

Yes. Submissions, approvals and rejections are recorded with who acted and when.
