What is Data-Driven Approval Routing and Workflow?
Data-Driven Approval Routing and Workflow is technology that dynamically creates and alerts a list of Users (workflow), based on the data associated with a QAD Integrated Process, to review and approve or reject a Process Request, and then performs an Action upon final approval or rejection of that Process Request.
What is a QAD Integrated Process?
A QAD Integrated Process is a Business Process being performed in your organization that utilizes QAD data elements stored in the QAD DB (ie; Customer data, Supplier data, Item data, GL data, etc.) as part of the data that is routed to the Process Stakeholders for review, possible edit, and approval/rejection of the Process Request, and results in an Action that may include sending emails, creating validated QAD transactions, updating a QAD Master File, and creating an audit trail accordingly.
Examples of QAD Integrated Processes
- Purchase Order Approval
- Supplier Invoice Approval
- Customer Sales Quote/Order Approval
- Financial Requests (i.e., Project Budgets, Credit Authorizations)
- Inventory Requests (i.e., Unplanned Issues/Receipts, Lot Hold/Release)
- Production Requests (i.e., Scrap Authorization, Assembly Rework)
- Shipping Requests (i.e., Freight Authorizations)
- Master File Maintenance (i.e., Supplier Onboarding)
