In the article of "Episode 577: Work Request Flow is the Basic of Workflow", I introduced you the "Work Request flow" as an operation that I can recommend for any organization. It is one of the business flows (applications) pre-installed in the cloud-based Workflow "Questetra BPM Suite", and there three other business flows are pre-installed. I will introduce you the operation of "Starter Template pack" in three articles in series from this one.
The first installment is "Approval flow".
Episode 462: Planning - Approval (Starter Template) (2015-12-21)
It is a simple business flow in which an employee "applies" a request for approval and the superior of the applicant "approves" it. The flow has been configured that if the external payment amount is 1 million JPY or more, it goes also to the "Approval" by the officer. (Automatically be approved after neglected for 24 hours)
[Planning-Approval flow]
"Approval document PDF" are automatically generated for approved plans. It is also possible to print out and use if necessary, for corresponding with audit, etc.
