There can be multi-tier approvals as well as approval workflows of order confirmation that can be set up on your account.

HOW THE APPROVAL PROCESS WORKS |
STEP 1: ORDER REQUIRES APPROVAL
Once a user places their order they will be notified that their order has been sent for approval. This user is now a 'requester'
Users can view all Order Approval requests via the Orders widget on their account Dashboard. Simply click the Awaiting Approval tab in Orders to see the status of order requests.
STEP 2: ORDER REQUIRES APPROVAL
An Order Approval email is sent to all approvers selected as an approver for a 'requester'. When an Approver wishes to review an order request they will need to navigate to Orders on their account Dashboard then click the Awaiting Approval tab.
After selecting an order to view, the approver will have an option to 'Accept' or 'Reject' this order. Once an order is approved the status of the order will change to 'In Progress'. This is status will also update for the requester.
- If an approver is not selected or the order is beyond any of the approvers settings of all of the approvers this email is sent to the Account Admin set for the account.
- If an Executive Approver is selected, once the previous approver has approved the order, the executive approver will receive this email.
- Once the order is approved it will immediately be processed.
ORDER NOT APPROVED
In the case that an order is not approved, an update email will be sent only to the requester who's order was rejected
