8 Benefits of Approval Workflow in Dynamics GP

1. Creates consistent business processes ensuring they are followed every time.
2. Eliminates errors.
3. Eliminates paper approvals and time spent chasing approvers for their signature.
4. No need to log into GP. The approver can reject or approve quickly and easily by clicking on a link in an email which automatically updates in GP.
5. Approvers can delegate other approvers if they go on vacation.
6. Workflow sends reminder emails if the approver missed the email. It also escalates to another approver after a specific period of time if the request was unanswered.
7. Improves visibility by allowing staff members to check the status of the item that is awaiting approval.
8. Notifications are sent once approved.
