Approval Flow
Approval Flow is a feature in the online shop that allows different people to send a purchase proposal to the approver. The approver decides which proposals to approve or block. This feature is mainly used in organisations where multiple people are able to create a shopping cart. This makes it easy to manage and control multiple purchases.
How can I manage my approval flow?
A login is created under one customer number for both the purchaser and the approver. Only the administrator can make changes to the settings.
