Finance & Approvals

Keep food purchasing controlled from request to expense.

Route new orders to the right approvers before they affect Inventory, preserve the decision record, and give finance teams a clear view of approved food purchasing across each fiscal period.

Order approvals

Send each purchase to the approval group responsible for its value.

Hotels configure a standard approval pool and can route orders at or above a chosen amount to a separate large-order pool. A routine purchase can stay with the operational team, while higher-value purchasing reaches finance leadership automatically.

Approvers see the supplier, requester, requested delivery, ingredients, quantities, unit prices, and total before deciding. The same approvals area retains approved and rejected orders with the information needed to understand what was requested and what happened.

Financial reporting

See approved food-order expenses in the fiscal period where they belong.

Finance teams can select a fiscal period, see its approved expense total and record count, and inspect the orders behind that spend by supplier, expense date, and amount.

Only approved orders whose requested delivery time has arrived become reportable expenses, keeping pending, rejected, and cancelled purchasing outside the fiscal total.
