Approval mechanisms

Before an order is approved and processing starts, each needs to fulfll three approval criteria:

• Financial approval - Depending on financial volume of an order, different parties need to approve the order
• Technical approval - Special product groups require also a product group manager to approve the order before it is granted (e.g. shotguns)
• Personal equipment approval - Sometimes, orders may exceed organizational rules, and require clearance of a teamleader.

The settings for approvals are defined on company level for general procurement. Technical and personal equipment approval can be overridden by shopping purpose definition
