A prepared order can offer Submit for approval. The subsequent decision controls depend on current purchasing access and the record state. Review the saved vendor, items, quantities, dates and reason before submitting the commitment.
An authorized reviewer can use the available Approve order or Return to preparer action. The interface can require separate decision access, or allow self-review where the company's current capability explicitly permits it. Do not assume that preparing the order always grants approval authority.
If the order needs revision after submission, use Withdraw where offered and save the corrected terms before submitting again. A prior approval decision should not be treated as approval of a newly changed commitment.
Inspect the saved state and history after the decision. If approval evidence is unavailable, refresh before receiving quantities or creating a bill draft. The preserved history remains useful for review, but an unavailable evidence check is not permission to continue with actions that depend on the order's current approval.
