Create a new Request for Quotation

While working on a new RfQ, if the order is made by a user and not a manager and the amount of the order is above the minimum amount you specified, a new To Approve status will be introduced in the process.

Approve the order

If you are a purchase manager, you can now go to the purchase order and approve the order if everything is alright with it. Giving you full control of what your users can or can't do.

Once approved, the purchase order follows the normal process.
