Feature reserved for the accounting firm's practitioner

The approval request allows documents to be approved by several users. Once the documents have been approved, they will be locked and cannot be modified. When creating the request, it is possible to select documents already present in the Documents application or to add documents from the computer. The documents thus added are then archived directly in the Documents application in the “Company” space.

It is possible to automate the approval request by using the helpers in the Documents application.
