Requesting approval for an order

To request approval for an order, requesters use the checkout process.

The requester specifies shipping and delivery information. After the requester specifies delivery information, the total of the order is evaluated. If the total exceeds the order limit, a notice that the order requires approval is displayed.

After the requester completes the Delivery step, the Payment step is skipped and the Review step is displayed. In the Review step, the requester can add notes for the approvers. The email addresses of the approvers are displayed above the Notes for the Approver field.

The requester clicks the Send for Approval button to submit the order request to the approvers.

In the last step of the checkout process, a summary of the order is displayed. The requester is notified that emails about the order have been sent to the approvers. If you set up a multi-level approval flow, then the current approval sequence and the total number of approval sequences are displayed after the list of approvers. For example, if three levels of approval are required, and the first set of approvers have accepted the order, then (2 of 3) is displayed after the list of approvers.
