# Escalations and Approval Chains

## Escalations and approval chains

Some requests need more than one review step.

TZone supports approval chains based on policy and spend context.

### Common escalation triggers

* higher spend amounts
* policy exceptions
* special department rules
* finance review requirements

### Manager responsibilities

1. Approve within your scope.
2. Add notes when escalation is needed.
3. Avoid bypassing required reviewers.

### Best practice

Use escalation to protect control, not to delay decisions.
