How do I create an approval workflow?

Modified on Tue, 10 Dec at 3:04 PM

Within Capture Expense, you can create single-stage or multi-stage Approval Workflows for approving expense claims. The Approval Workflows can then be selected in User Accounts and Categories. This is useful if you have different workflows for each department.
 
You can add stages 1 to 6 within on Approval Workflow
 

To create a single staged approval workflow
