MANAGE SALES ORDER APPROVAL TITLES

Use this screen to define sales order approval titles for use within approval processes. You must define approval titles before structuring approval processes. You then assign employee and system user IDs to the titles.

Set up approval titles when initializing Costpoint Sales Order Entry, and modify them at any time. It is best to modify titles and validations when the fewest sales orders will be affected.

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.
