Approvals
Approvals module in TenXshift: a unified approvals inbox across departments, with configurable paths.
A clearer answer to: where is the request?
What does Approvals provide?
When the request path differs by department without a clear reference, follow-up depends on correspondence. The Approvals module brings approvals together across departments with configurable paths in TenXshift.
Approvals are a backbone of NGO governance: purchasing, spend, travel, and exceptions. Approvals provides a unified inbox and configurable paths — configurability does not mean organisation policy is applied automatically without setup and testing.
Who is it designed for? Finance director, country director, and department managers.

Expected operational outcomes
What helps the team evaluate the module before full enablement.
- Clearer visibility of where a request sits in the path
- Paths configured by roles and thresholds
- A basis to test segregation of duties before production
What does the approvals inbox provide?
It gathers requests across departments in a trackable path, with roles and review thresholds adjustable to organisation policy.
Is enabling the module enough?
No. You must define roles and the review and approval path and test it. Configurability does not mean every policy is applied automatically.
How it relates to procurement, finance, and security
It is often used with Procurement and Finance, and reviewed with Security when segregation of duties and step-up verification are needed.
Demo scenario
Route a sample purchase request through the involved roles, then review its handoff and path. Test required segregation-of-duties cases with Security and Settings modules.
Suggested demo walkthrough
Start from a real working day.

This is a product-evaluation scenario, not a measured client outcome.
Approvals FAQ
Is enabling the module enough to apply organisation policy?
You must define roles and the review and approval path and test it. Configurability does not mean every policy is applied automatically.
Does it cover every request type?
The inbox is unified across departments within the supported scope; review the request types you need in the evaluation session.
How does Approvals relate to segregation of duties?
Segregation of duties is reviewed with the security module; approvals run the path while SoD addresses conflicting responsibilities.
What is the price of the Approvals module?
It is billed as part of a module bundle in your organisation plan; the price depends on active users and enabled bundles. See the pricing page for details.
