Hierarchy & Controls
Run expenses with a clear chain of authority
Set up control across departments, sub-departments and roles, so every rupee has an owner, a limit and an approver before it is spent.
- One structure
- Role-based limits
- Live visibility
What is Hierarchy & Controls?
Hierarchy and controls means modelling an organisation — departments, sub-departments and roles — inside the spend platform, then attaching spend limits, approval rules and visibility to each level so authority is explicit. It puts an owner and a limit on every rupee before it is spent, instead of discovering problems after the money has moved. Rabpe helps businesses streamline governance by connecting org structure, approval workflows and policy checks into a single operational layer. Businesses get faster approvals and a clear audit trail while finance gets one place to see and control spend across the whole org.

Benefits of Using Rabpe Hierarchy & Controls
Clear Chain of Authority
Every rupee has an owner, a limit and an approver before it is spent.
Faster Approvals
Approvers see real-time spend context instead of an email thread.
Lower Fraud Risk
Maker-checker and anomaly flags catch issues before money moves.
Scales With the Org
Add departments and roles anytime without rebuilding controls.
Easy configuration
Sits on top of the finance stack you already run
Connect your accounting and ERP — Zoho, Tally, SAP, Oracle NetSuite — so the hierarchy, cost centres and postings stay in sync without double entry.
- Connectors for Zoho, Tally, SAP, NetSuite
- Cost centres and GL codes kept in sync
- Import your existing org structure
- No parallel spreadsheet to maintain
Custom roles
Give every role exactly the access it needs
Define custom roles with their own permissions and visibility, and assign them across the hierarchy — a manager sees their team, a head sees their function, finance sees everything.
- Permission sets per role
- Scoped visibility by level
- Delegate and revoke in a click
- Segregation of duties by design
Faster decisions
Approve with the numbers in front of you
Approvers see real-time spend patterns for the person and cost centre in question, so a request gets a decision in seconds instead of an email thread.
- Spend context on every approval
- Real-time pattern insights
- Mobile approvals
- Full audit trail
Scales with you
Add departments and roles as the org grows
The structure is not fixed. Spin up a new function, split a team, or re-org a division, and the limits, approvals and reporting follow.
- Add or restructure levels anytime
- Bulk role assignment
- Inherited limits and policies
- Reporting adjusts automatically
Lower risk
Multiple approval layers catch errors and fraud
Higher amounts and sensitive categories route through more approvers, so a mistake or a bad actor has to clear several checks before money moves.
- Amount- and category-based approval tiers
- Maker-checker on every payout
- Anomaly flags for unusual spend
- Nothing bypasses the chain
Compliance built in
Policy violations surface the moment they happen
Every expense is checked against policy at submission, and out-of-policy items are flagged to the right person with the reason attached.
- Live policy checks at swipe and claim
- Violation alerts with context
- Exception log for audit
- Configurable per department
