Introduction

The Aptean eSignature (ESG) extension streamlines your document approval process by enabling secure digital signatures within Business Central. You can define signature requirements, manage user groups with different signing authorities, and ensure compliance with regulatory and organizational policies through automated validations.

This extension integrates seamlessly with existing Business Central workflows by adding signature checkpoints at critical approval stages. When documents require signatures, the system automatically routes them to the appropriate signers based on predefined user groups and authority levels. It enforces signing authority structures, and provides comprehensive audit trails for traceability.

Key benefits include:

• Ensures regulatory and company policy compliance with mandatory e-signature workflows.

• Enhances security through Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) and hierarchical approval levels.

• Automates routing, delegation, and notifications to reduce processing time.

• Provides tamper-proof audit trails for compliance reporting and historical reference.

• Maintains complete traceability across business and production records.
