“We have achieved and exceeded all of our targeted objectives…..” John Crane (Smith’s Group)

In this short 30-minute presentation we will demonstrate what’s at the Heart of all of ISS Group’s BPI solutions; AART™. Come with us and take a deep-dive into ISS Group’s Approval Routing Engine and approval simulation.

Routing of Process Forms throughout an organization, such as Purchase Order Requisitions, Sales Quotes, Expense Requests, Financial Control Documents, HR Requests, Production Requests, etc., for the purpose of review, revision, and approval/rejection of the Process Form in order to perform an action upon final approval, such as creating a Purchase Order, creating a Sales Order, authorizing a payment, updating data within a master table, etc.

Presentation Agenda

Configurable Rules (Point and Click – no programming required)

We’ll show you how you can create the most challenging, or simple approval routing rules without any programming necessary. Administrators can setup a rule by simply adding criteria to the rules based engine based on their business processes for simultaneous as well as sequential approvals; group approvals; for approval re-routing based on changes made to a request; for retracting of a request by the originator, and re-submission of a request for multiple approval nattempts, and more.

Dynamic Approval Routing based on Rules upon Request Submission

Approval based routing system uses the request from the user to determine who should approve/authorize the submitted request. This type of routing is always dynamic and never requires the need for static approvers.

Simultaneous/Sequential and Group Approvals, Out of Office Designation

You will see how rules can be setup for users to approve requests in different ways, at the same time, at different levels and/or in a group based on how a rule is setup. This makes the system extremely flexible to fit numerous types of business processes. Allows a user to set an ‘out-of-office’ (OOF) function to allow ‘assigned’ users the ability to approve the OOF approver’s request. Since a user may not be available all the time this setting streamlines the process of approvals and reduces turnaround time. If the OOF function is turned on by a user; this user, and the ‘assigned’ user that now has to approve the request, will be notified.

Supervisory Escalation Approvals

Can be administered to have user supervisors approve a request instead of using the approval rules based engine. This Hierarchy can be easily setup in the administrative section.

Approval Simulation prior to Request Submission

A user has the ability to ‘virtually’ see all the approvers per their request before submitting the request into the system.

Ability to Retract Request prior to final Approval

The ability to retract a request in will help eliminate incorrect, inaccurate, or dated information in your ERP system. Only the originator of the request has the ability to retract their submitted request. Keep track of all retracted requests for audit purposes.

Approval Simulation prior to Request Submission

A user has the ability to ‘virtually’ see all the approvers per their request before submitting the request into the system.

Time/Date Stamp of User Approvals/Rejections

Time stamp all approvals or rejects based on each request. These requests may have multiple approvers based on the rules created. The time stamp functionality will allow a user see when each approver has completed their task and how long it has taken to approve or reject a request from beginning to end.

History of all Request Approval Attempts

We’ll show you how you will track all approval attempts per request for audit purposes
