# Approvals

DX2 Approvals allows you to digitalise the approvals process within your organisation. It provides the ability to codify Documents into their cost centres, enforces a work-flow for the Document with the use of approval chains, and presents visibility and control over the whole process.

All required information to make the approval decision is available, including the original invoice or order, the Requisition (if using DX2 Purchase), links to related Documents, the status and history of the approval, and related discussions on the Document.

The approval takes place within the normal DX2 Document processes, as illustrated below. When a Document has been marked as needing approval, it will pause processing of the Document until the Document has been approved.

Your company will need to set up the appropriate rules and approval related processes before any Documents will show up for approval. See Setup Approvals for how your organisation can setup Approvals.

To get started, select Approvals from the side navigation bar.
