16.9 Step 8: Approval Rules

This function enables the Bank Administrator to set up conditions for approval as well as for Releaser as per the bank/corporate requirements. A rule can be set up for financial, non-financial, non-account financial transactions and for maintenances. Flexibility is provided to define approval rules with conditions stating that ‘specific transaction’ if initiated by a ‘specific user/ user group/All users’ has to be approved by a ‘specific approver/approver group’ along with other attributes like amount range etc.

For an approval rule, the user has an option to select one workflow within which different levels are available for approver and checker. The release rules should be resolved at the time of transaction initiation. The users mapped at the time of transaction initiation will be able to release the transaction. The rules specific to release can be configured for a combination of initiator type (user, user group), transactions and accounts. User can set up the release rule only for those transactions for which the release functionality is required. If no rule is configured for a combination of values, then it will be considered as ‘no release required’. All the transactions as per the specified rule, will be sent for release to the configured users/user groups post successful approval at all levels.
