Financial approval workflow software

Create income and expense requests, control who can approve or reject them, record decisions, and connect approved one-time requests to bookkeeping.

What this feature brings together

Lyniti Financial Approvals gives teams a focused request-and-decision workflow inside finance workspace. Requesters add operational context, authorized members approve or reject, and one-time approved items can continue into bookkeeping without suggesting a configurable multi-stage approval chain.

Best for

  • Teams that need a clear approval step before income or expense activity reaches bookkeeping.
  • Requests that need operation name, category, amount, description, project context, and recurring settings.
  • Workspace roles where approval authority must remain separate from general finance access.

Capability overview

CapabilityDetails
Income and expense request formsCreate request with operation, category, amount, type, description, project context, and optional recurring frequency.
Permission-controlled decisionsApproval and rejection use finance approval permission so decision access can be assigned through workspace roles.
Pending, approved, and declined statusRequest views show current status, requester context, decision maker, decision date, and rejection reason when provided.
One-time bookkeeping handoffApproved non-recurring requests create bookkeeping transaction context with pending-review status, keeping final accounting review separate.
Recurring request visibilityApproved recurring requests remain visible in finance cash-flow context instead of becoming a one-time bookkeeping entry.

What is a financial approval workflow?

A financial approval workflow gives a team a consistent way to submit income or expense activity for a permission-controlled decision. The request keeps business context, supporting files, status, and decision information together.

Lyniti focuses on one clear approve-or-reject decision rather than claiming configurable multi-step approval chains.

Submit project-aware income and expense requests

A request can include operation name, category, amount, type, description, optional project context, attachments, and recurring frequency. This gives the approver more context than a number copied into a message.

Control decisions through workspace permissions

Approval and rejection use workspace finance permissions. Teams can separate general access from authority to make the final decision while keeping the workflow inside the same workspace.

Keep decision history visible

Request records show pending, approved, or declined status together with the decision maker, decision date, and rejection reason when one is provided. This is practical decision history, not a claim of an immutable compliance audit log.

Connect approved requests to bookkeeping and cash visibility

Approved one-time requests can create pending-review bookkeeping context. Approved recurring requests remain visible in finance cash-flow context rather than becoming one one-time transaction.

Frequently asked

questions

Who can approve a financial request?

Approval or rejection requires finance approval permission in workspace role.

What happens after a one-time request is approved?

Approved non-recurring request creates bookkeeping transaction context with pending-review status for later accounting review.

Does Lyniti support multi-step approval chains?

No multi-step or configurable approval-chain capability is claimed. Current workflow supports one permission-controlled approve or reject decision.

Can a financial request include project context and files?

Yes. Requests can include project context, description, category, amount, and supporting attachments.

Is the decision history an immutable audit log?

No immutable audit-log claim is made. Lyniti records practical request status, decision maker, decision date, and rejection reason.
