How the module helps

Request the right review
Configured rules determine when an action needs approval and which review steps apply. Sales integration connects this workflow to order confirmation.
Ask for the missing information
An approver can request clarification. The requester replies and resubmits for review, keeping the exchange in the request history.
Record approval or rejection
Keep responsible approvers, completion progress and decision comments together. Approval confirms the quotation; rejection leaves it in draft.
Agree the controls for the process
Set the rule, approvers and integration for the business action. Enable post-approval locking where your process needs it.
