Approval prerequisites: require evidence before PO approval

    A practical prerequisite checklist for purchase order approvals in UAE/Dubai teams: what evidence must exist before an approver can decide.

    Approvals become slow when evidence is missing.

    Approvals become risky when evidence is optional.

    Start here:

    Minimum evidence for PO approval (practical)

    At minimum, approvers should be able to see:

    • the scope and totals
    • vendor context
    • comparison evidence (where required)
    • receipt/acceptance prerequisites (where applicable)

    The goal is not to block work.

    The goal is to prevent rework and disputes later.

    Where to store the evidence

    Evidence must be retrievable.

    If it lives in inboxes and forwarded attachments, it will not exist when disputes happen.
