| 3 | +## Introduction |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +Entitlement is the quantity of benefit that a beneficiary is entitled to receive. This is the money that a beneficiary will receive via either direct bank transfer, mobile wallet, cash at the counter, vouchers or other disbursement mechanisms. Entitlement is defined for each [cycle](disbursement-cycles.md). |

| 7 | +## Entitlement Manager |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +Entitlement Manager is a software module provided by the OpenG2P platform. The module provides a human-centric design for configuring the entitlement and approval process. Configuring an Entitlement Manager in a program is a three-step process: |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +#### Configure the Entitlement Manager role |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +Each Entitlement Manager has one or more approving authority roles. The approving authority role is played by a group of users who can approve the entitlements. Hence the approving authority role is configured as a group in the OpenG2P platform. To learn the steps to configure an approving authority role, click [here](../guides/user-guides/create-entitlement-manager-role.md). |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +#### Create an Entitlement Manager type |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +OpenG2P supports two types of Entitlement Managers: Default Entitlement Managers and Voucher Entitlement Managers. The Voucher Entitlement Manager configures an [entitlement voucher](../eligibility-and-enrolment/payment-types/voucher.md) template in addition to the configurations provided by the Default Entitlement Manager. To learn the steps to create an Entitlement Manager type, click [here](broken-reference). |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +#### Configure Entitlement Manager in a program |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +In this step, the program administrators add the Entitlement Managers created in the second step to a program. To learn the steps to configure Entitlement Managers in a program, click [here](broken-reference). |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +## Entitlement details |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +OpenG2P entitlement managers allow program administrators to configure entitlement details under these broad categories.  |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +#### Entitlement amount |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +These configurations include entitlement amounts, transfer fees, currency, amount per person for a group, and the maximum number of individuals in a group. These configurations allow program administrators to set rules for entitlement amounts for individuals and groups. |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +#### Approving authority |
| 32 | + |
| 33 | +The Entitlement Manager can have one or more stages of approval, and the program administrators can assign one of the approving authorities for each stage of approval. [Immediate Individual Assistance On-Demand](../workflows/on-demand-assistance.md) workflow describes an example involving multi-stage approval. |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +#### Entitlement voucher |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +OpenG2P provides an easy-to-use UI for creating an [entitlement voucher](../eligibility-and-enrolment/payment-types/voucher.md) template along with a QR code configuration. Once the entitlement is approved, a voucher file is generated according to the voucher template and QR code configuration. To understand the workflow for entitlement vouchers, click [here](../workflows/on-demand-assistance.md). |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +The Entitlement Manager provides an option to auto-generate the entitlement voucher file upon entitlement approval. By default, these files are stored in the cloud. Program administrators can also configure the storage type - cloud, OpenG2P storage, or external storage - for the entitlement voucher files.

| 40 | + |
| 41 | +## Approval process |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +The approval process can be single-stage or multi-stage based on the approval settings in the Entitlement Manager. The figure below shows the entitlement approval for a program. |

| 46 | + |
| 47 | +The multi-stage approval typically follows this process: |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +* The first approving authority inspects and verifies documents, enrols the beneficiary based on eligibility, and adds an assessment. |
| 50 | +* Subsequent approving authorities will skip the process of enrolment. However, they also inspect and verify beneficiary documents, and add their assessments. |
| 51 | +* The last approving authority completes the approval process and generates an entitlement voucher. |
| 52 | + |
