## PART B — Common Approval Chain (PC-I → PC-V)
*(Same statuses and roles for every PC type)*

```
[1] CREATE
    Department Submitter prepares form
    Status: Draft
         │  Submit
         ▼
[2] CHECK
    Status: Forwarded for Checking
    Authority: Checker
    • Approve  → advance when all required checkers done
    • Defer    → Deferred; resubmit restarts at Checking
         │
         ▼
[3] DEPARTMENT APPROVAL
    Status: Forwarded for Approval
    Authority: Department Approver
    • Approve  → advance when all required department approvals done
    • Defer    → Deferred; resubmit restarts at Checking
    (Skipped if no department approvers configured)
         │
         ▼
[4] FORWARDED TO P&D
    Status: Forwarded to P&D
    Authority: P&D Approver / Meeting Workspace
