Check the supporting material and record the eligible approver decision.
Evidence Reviewer inspects the attachment and its external reference against the request. Record the verification result and verifier. A quotation should support the amount being reviewed; refer any discrepancy to Request Owner before relying on it.
Evidence Reviewer records an independent outcome against the exact request revision with a reason and evidence reference. An approval moves that review from Pending to Approved. Returned and Rejected remain distinct outcomes for the reviewer to explain.
Approver inspects the current ordered step, route version and review context. The eligible person approves the selected request through the decision-chain workflow. It writes the decision entry and operation trace, appends state history, advances the step order and marks the request Approved with its completion time.
Approval Coordinator opens the recorded decision and state transition with the parent request. Confirm the outcome, source context and completed revision before handing execution review to Execution Operator. A review outcome and the request approval should each remain understandable in their own records.
