Spanish term or phrase: la matriz de aprobacion
I'm translating "Purchasing Guidelines" explaining how to enter Purchase orders into an IT system. I'm not sure how to translate "matriz de aprobacion," as in

― La aprobación por parte del Director de Departamento de un Pedido de importe elevado requerirá por su parte la previa obtención de la aprobación de sus superiores jerárquicos según los niveles de firma indicados en la matriz de aprobación

you could also say "approval table/chart" but I think "sign-off" is slicker.
It is basically, a table with an indication, for each value/level/type of purchase, of who has to give their approval (or sign off) before the purchase is considered authorised.

agree  Bubo Coroman (X): yes, a matriz is literally a "grid" and could be called a table or chart, as you put

agree  eesegura: Might depend on whether it is AE or BE. I've also heard sign-off page (AE), which is usually the top page of the document.
