**Summary:** Sequence of people and rules a receipt clears before payment.

- An approval workflow is the policy-defined sequence a mileage receipt clears to reach payment: employee creation → direct manager approval → finance review → bookkeeping → payment.
- Above a threshold, director approval is added.
- Digital systems notify each step, log approvers and timestamps, and block out-of-policy items from being paid.
