Approvals
Some things nobody should decide alone: a large order, blocking a customer, going public. Request decisions here, approve or reject — and every decision remains on record: who, when, why.

Requesting a decision
On any record you can request a decision — from a specific person or from everyone allowed to decide. The answer and its reasoning are documented. This enforces nothing; it keeps the record.
Enforcing approvals
For status changes your organisation can set rules: this step needs an approval — or a four-eyes principle where the same person never both requests and approves. The database enforces this, not the UI; technical skill does not get around it. A de-minimis threshold exempts small cases.
The worklist
Open requests that concern you live here: what you can decide, what you requested yourself, what has been decided. Rejecting always requires a reason. If a record changes before it is decided, the request expires — nobody approves what they never saw.
