It would be a great help if we can have multi level authorisation for generating Purchase Orders in iFinance. As of now there is only 1 level of approver mapping is available based on value of Purchase Order. It will be a better solution to have multiple level of approvers such as:
Start
Purchase/Procurement Officer creates a PO (Purchase Order)
1st Level of approver (Based on internal criteria such as Value of PO as well as budget availability check)
If Rejected - With notation to Purchase Officer to either amend or re-initiate PO
If Approved - To next level of approver
2nd Level of Approver - Usually Operations Director or Chief Operation Officer (with function to approve via email)
If Rejected - With notation to Purchase Officer to either amend or re-initiate PO
If Approved - To next level
Add digital image of signature of required signatories as well as stamp (as it is a regulatory requirement from government tax authorities)
PO Available for Printing (By Purchase Officer) or emailing (to Vendor)

Our school is extremely frustrated by the noticeable lack of progress on feature requests within this portal. Many highly requested enhancements have remained unaddressed for years, despite ongoing demand from users. This prolonged lack of development has led to growing dissatisfaction and concerns about whether customer feedback is being adequately considered in the product roadmap.
If other users share these concerns and would be interested in establishing an independent forum to discuss common issues, priorities, and collective engagement with the provider, please feel free to contact me directly at d.moss@hamptonschool.org.uk.
