User Manual
Cost approver accepts or rejects the cost of the order
Introduction
A customer can request that the cost of the order must be calculated before the order is printed.
When the cost is calculated, the customer must accept or reject the cost.
To control the budget, the maximum cost of an order can be defined by the system administrator.
The customer can accept a cost that exceeds the maximum cost. When the maximum cost is
exceeded, a cost approver must accept or reject the cost. The [Order status] becomes [Request to
accept price].
NOTE
If the cost approver is changed, the already created orders will still have the old cost approver
assigned.
