The Budget owner approver type lets one Approval Rule automatically route each payment to whoever owns the budget it's charged against, instead of naming approvers individually. Because the budget-to-owner relationship is already set when you create or edit a budget, you don't need a separate rule for every team. This keeps your Approval Rules simple as your business grows.
How It Works
- Automatic approver resolution: At approval time, Weel automatically resolves "Budget owner" to whichever employee is assigned as the owner of the specific budget the payment belongs to.
- No need to name people: Because a budget's owner relationship is already set when you create or edit the budget, an Approval Rule doesn't need to list approvers individually.
- One rule replaces many: Three team budgets (Sales, Marketing, Operations), each with its own owner, can share a single Budget owner rule instead of a rule per team.
- Flexible approve mode: Choose whether all assigned budget owners must approve, or whether any one of them approving is enough to proceed. See Approval Rules: What is a Budget owner? for the full approve-mode breakdown.
