What is the decision center

The entire process of reviewing and approving your company’s financial transactions can be centralized and simplified by using the Decision Center module. It is a virtual desk where your company’s approvers monitor, receive, and process financial transactions.  Purchase Orders, Estimates, Budgets, Invoices, and other transaction types can be submitted to the center for approval. You can send for approval transactions to the decision center from various Vault Synapse modules like Departments, Offices, Vendors, Business Trips, Projects or Purchase Orders. For example, approved transactions show up as commitment on the project transactions dashboard. The remaining budget figure will be updated by the system each time a transaction has been submitted to the decision center for approval so that you keep a clear overview of spending and funds availability.   

To open the decision center, go to the Finance module and click the Decision Center module. You will be presented with the list of pending transaction items which require approval and a view list of resolved transactions which have been approved.  

The following filters can be used to search for transactions:  

• Types – Incoming Item, Purchase Order, Project and others. 
• Status – Approved, Denied. 
• Projects – A list of all the Projects in Vault Synapse.
