Looking for some guidance during your first steps as an Approver and/or Controller in Rydoo? This guide will walk you through step-by-step.
First, let's distinguish the Approver and Controller roles.
- Both can approve and/or reject expenses
- The difference? Approver is the first level of approval while controller serves as the second level of approval.
Example: If you opt for two levels of approval, an expense will first be approved by an approver (the first level), and only after that, a controller (the second level) can approve or reject the same expense.
Apart from the key difference, both approvers and controllers roles share many similar functionalities. Here's what you need to know:
