When you hit that Waived state, it should include a note explaining why it was waived. This could be “parent transaction dropped below threshold amount, so we don’t need this control” or “Executive X signed off on it”.

I’m not sure about the auto-skip thing you propose, just from a UX perspective. I don’t want my task list cluttered up with unnecessary things. Still, I am struggling with precisely where to store the business logic about which tasks are needed when. I’m leaning towards implementing that in a reporting layer. Validation would happen in the background and raise warnings, rather than hard stopping people.

The theory there is that the people doing the work generally know what’s needed better than the system does. Thus the system just provides gentle reminders about the typical case, which users can make the choice to suppress.
