Submit Transaction for Approval

The first step in transaction approval is to create and submit transactions for approval. To create and submit a new sales transaction:

save-submit

sales-submit

You will receive an in-app notification if your transaction is approved. 


Approve Transactions

As soon as transactions are submitted, the respective approvers will be notified of it (as per the configured settings).

To approve the transactions, the approver/admin should:

approve

Note: Once you approve a transaction, you cannot undo this action. You can however mark the transaction as Void and later convert it to the Draft state.


Reject Transaction

Admins and approvers can reject a transaction in case of any mistakes with the reason for rejection. The submitter can then make the necessary changes and resubmit the transaction for approval.

To reject a transaction:

Reject Button Reject Reason

Resubmit Transaction

If a transaction has been rejected by an approver for specific reasons, the submitter can make changes to it and resubmit it for approval.

To resubmit a transaction:

Resubmit Button

If the approver is satisfied with the changes made then they’ll approve the transaction. You can then carry on with performing more actions to the approved transaction.
