In May 2025, GCPay released the following features, enhancements, and bug fixes:
Approval Strategy (And/Or Logic) and Draft Reviewer Approval Routing Enhancements
GCPay has introduced two key improvements to Approval Routing, providing greater flexibility and efficiency in the review process. These updates streamline approvals, reduce bottlenecks, and provide greater flexibility in managing project workflows.
Approval Strategy (And/Or Approval Logic)
The first aspect of this enhancement introduces "And/Or" approval routing logic, offering more control over how approvals are handled. Previously, all assigned reviewers had to approve an SOV, CO, or AFP before advancing. Now, with the newly added Approval Strategy setting, only one reviewer per approval tier needs to approve in order to progress the workflow. When multiple approval tiers exist, this logic allows the process to advance efficiently without requiring every reviewer in a tier to approve.
Draft Reviewers
The second aspect of this enhancement is available by request. It introduces a new Draft Reviewer permission, which enables a frontline reviewer assigned to specific subcontractors in the Project Companies tab. This reviewer is the first to approve an Application for Payment (AFP) before it moves to the established project-level approval workflow. Multiple draft reviewers can be assigned per subcontractor if needed, ensuring a structured and efficient review process.
