Topic: Sales > Working with Sales Orders For larger companies it is often the case that Sales Orders need to be submitted for approval before being accepted. For this reason a simple approval mechanism is provided.
IMPORTANT: If a Sales Order has not been approved you will not be able to generate any associated documents from it such as Sales Invoices, Cash Sales etc. Also the Sales Order will not affect the Number On Sales Orders total in any associated Stock Item.
The Role associated with a Worker has a section under the Permissions Tab called Approval Permissions determines if the Worker can approve submitted Sales Orders (below).
 Sales Order approval
NOTE: If you are authorized to approve Sales Orders then your Sales Orders are automatically approved when saved.
When a Sales Order is saved (either from New or Edit state) the associated Approval Status can be set. In the example below the Sales Order will be 'Submitted' for approval when the Document is saved.
 Sales Order submitted for approval
NOTE: Once an Sales Order has been approved its status cannot be changed.
Approving submitted Sales Orders If you have permission to approve Sales Orders then you can use the Sales Order List to conveniently determine which Sales Orders have been submitted for approval.
 Listing Sales Orders by Approval status
To accept or reject the Sales Order, simply switch the Document into Edit mode and select the appropriate status from the 'Approval' drop-down.
NOTE: When the Sales Order has been approved the 'Authorised by' field will show the approver's name.
