Approvals by role
Approval steps are assigned to roles such as procurement, finance, quality or compliance. Each records its own decision.
- SupplierReady for approval
- ProcurementOwn decision

- ApprovedAll recorded
- Each role records its own decision

Decisions in the record
Approve, reject or request a supplier fix from the record. Your decision is recorded in the audit trail with your name.
- 03
Separation of duties
Requesters, reviewers and approvers are kept distinct, so a person cannot approve their own request.
- RequesterRaises the request
- ReviewerChecks the evidence
- ApproverMakes the decision
- Three different people. Nobody approves their own request.
- 04
Waivers and exceptions
When a rule is waived for a specific product or supplier, the waiver is recorded against that rule.
- 05
History and evidence
Each record keeps its history of changes and decisions. Supplier evidence packs can be downloaded for audit.
Governance & approvals
Every approval made by a person, and every decision on record.
Approval ownership, separation of duties, recorded decisions, waivers and audit history across suppliers and products.
The problem
Approvals that live in email cannot be governed.
When approval is a reply-all, nobody can show later who approved what, on which evidence, or whether the requester approved their own supplier.
Governance in Skuvet is part of the workflow itself: decisions are made in the record, by people with the right role, and the record keeps the history.
