Quick answer

The Approvals module in Easedesk lets you route requests for sign-off. Multi-level workflows, email + in-app alerts, and mobile approve on-the-go — all in one place, designed for Indian SMEs.

What is the Approvals module?

The Approvals module in Easedesk ERP is built for Indian businesses that need to route requests for sign-off without juggling spreadsheets or stitching together multiple tools. It is part of Easedesk's 50+ module unified platform.

It is included in every Easedesk subscription (subject to plan availability) and works out-of-the-box with sensible Indian defaults — INR currency, April–March fiscal year, GST-aware pricing, and Indian compliance.

Key features

Approvals ships with the following capabilities:

  • Multi-level workflows
  • Email + in-app alerts
  • Mobile approve on-the-go
  • Delegation

Who should use it?

Teams that route requests for sign-off regularly will get the most value. Common users include founders, admins and operations leads.

Why teams choose Easedesk for this

Compared to standalone tools, Easedesk's Approvals module gives you:

  • Faster cycle times
  • Clear accountability
  • Audit-ready chain

Permissions required

Access to Approvals is controlled by the Easedesk RBAC system. By default, the predefined roles that include access are typically Admin, Admin and the Viewer role (read-only). Owners can edit role permissions in Settings → Users & Roles.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Approvals module do in Easedesk?
It lets you route requests for sign-off from a single place inside Easedesk, with Indian-format defaults (INR, GST, April fiscal year) and audit-grade history.
Is Approvals included in my Easedesk plan?
Approvals is part of Easedesk's 50+ module platform and is available subject to your subscription plan. Most plans include it by default — check Settings → Billing for what your plan covers.
Who can access Approvals?
Access is governed by role-based permissions. By default, Owner and Admin roles have full access; module-specific predefined roles (e.g. HR Manager for HR, Accountant for Finance) grant scoped access. You can customise this in Settings → Users & Roles.
Can Approvals be disabled if my team doesn't need it?
Yes. Owners can disable any non-mandatory module under Settings → Modules. Disabled modules are hidden from the sidebar but their data is preserved if you re-enable later.
Where does Approvals data come from?
Data is created either manually from the in-app forms, imported via CSV, ingested through the Easedesk API, or auto-generated from other modules (for example, journal entries created automatically when an invoice is posted).
