What are approval templates forms?

Each company has its own Purchasing order system.

Companies with a simple structure may have multiple steps for which one person is responsible. For example, if the company has ten employees in total, it is more likely that only one or two of them are in charge of finance.

But what if the company has a more complicated structure with many departments and managers who are accountable for specific actions?

Both of these methods are simple to set up on the Teamprocure platform and will not cause confusion during internal company Requests or Purchase orders.

Approval Templates allow you to create a specific process with actions based on each step.

The creation of approval templates is simple and quick. There is no need for code or specially trained personnel. With the template builder, any employee can create it in a matter of seconds.
