A grade or level in a custom approval process in SAP Business One.
An authorisation level determines which employees are authorised to carry out certain transactions.
- Sequential process: Documents pass through the authorisation levels one after the other. The request is only forwarded to the next level after the previous level has granted its approval.
- Adaptability: Companies can define the number and type of approval levels individually and thus react flexibly to their organisational needs.
Configuration and management of authorisation levels
This is set up using authorisation templates in SAP Business One, which contain the following four main tabs:
- Creator: Determination of who can initiate authorisation requests.
- Vouchers: Definition of the document types that must go through the approval process.
- Steps: Configuration of the authorisation levels and assignment of the responsible users.
- Conditions: Definition of the criteria under which authorisations are required.
Advantages of the authorisation levels
- Process automation: Structured automation reduces manual intervention and ensures consistent processes.
- Better control: Authorisation processes provide transparent monitoring and control over processes that deviate from defined criteria.
- Increased efficiency: Clear responsibilities and standardised processes increase the speed and reliability of the approval process.
