ERP Authority & Escalation Logic Map
A practical framework for embedding decision rights, criticality, approval conditions, exceptions, workflow triggers, and escalation logic into ERP-supported supply chain governance.

What it examines
- Delegation of Authority (DOA) embedding within ERP approval engines
- Emergency purchase requisition bypass controls and audit logging
- Segregation of duties (SoD) enforcement across procurement cycles
