Spending

What this covers

Simple, evidence‑friendly spending controls: requests → approvals → POs → receipts.

• Requests: capture need, budget line, and value; auto‑route for approval.
• Approvals: one or multi‑step with comments and signatures.
• Purchase orders: templated POs with supplier details and references.
• Receipts: match invoices/receipts to POs; flag mismatches.

Publishing & transparency

• Exports: CSVs of awarded spend, line items, suppliers, and dates.
• Open data ready: configurable columns so you can publish safely.
• Evidence packs: signatures, timestamps, and checksums for auditors.

Controls & policies

• Limits & thresholds: route by service, amount, category, or risk.
• Catalogues: pre‑approved items; block unapproved suppliers.
• Separation of duties: maker/ checker rules enforced in the flow.

Guarantees

• Traceable by design: every change signed and timestamped.
• Works with Finance: align categories for clean hand‑off to Books.
• Accessible: screens and PDFs built to pass WCAG AA checks.
