What's New At Expansive This Month?
This month, we've implemented our brand new tiered quotes approval process.
💱 New Quote Approval Rules Area
You’ll now find a dedicated Quotes section within Settings, featuring a new Approvals tab where you can:
-
Set up custom approval rules by organisation, cost code, currency, and value range
-
Apply unique rules for different quote sizes and teams
-
Create workflows that match your internal financial processes
✅ Rule View Screen
Each approval rule now comes with its own rule view screen where you can:
-
View and edit rule details
-
Add multiple approval steps, assigning specific roles or users at each stage
-
Reorder steps to match your company’s real-world approval flow
💰 Dedicated Quote View Screen
Submitting and managing quotes has never been easier:
-
A brand new quote view screen shows all quote details in one place
-
You can add costs, submit quotes, or make edits before sending them for approval
-
The entire process is trackable and easy to manage
💡 Intelligent Approval Routing
When a quote is submitted:
-
The system checks for an applicable approval rule based on your setup
-
If no rule exists, the user will receive feedback and be directed to the relevant page to set up additional rules
-
If a rule is matched, the quote enters a step-by-step approval process
-
Approvers are notified by email and kept in the loop—automatically informed if their action is no longer required
💼 Why This Matters
This feature helps you:
-
Align your quote approvals with internal policies
-
Ensure clear accountability and traceability with role-specific approvals
-
Simplify the quote submission process with a centralised view
-
Save time and reduce confusion with automated alerts and intelligent routing
