MANAGE SALES ORDER APPROVAL PROCESSES

Use this screen to define approval processes using approval titles. Set up sales order approval processes when initializing Costpoint Sales Order Entry, after creating approval titles. You can modify the processes at any time but modifications will not impact approval processes already assigned to a sales order.

The approval process structure and default approval process are specified in the Sales Order Approval group box on the Configure Sales Order Entry Settings screen.
