Approving a Quote

Possible criteria for an approval process 

The automated approval processes in Salesforce give you much better control over quote approval and dispatch. Approval processes can be configured in a flexible way, e.g. depending on authorizations or trigger criteria by the quote calculation.

The approval process

The typical approval process has the following steps:

• The quote is submitted for approval. To do this, you will find the "Submit for Approval" button on the quote record:

Open

• The approver receives a request to evaluate the quote - they accept or reject the approval request.

You can always see the current status of the approval process from the path above the preview:

Once approved, you can send the created quote to the recipient directly from Salesforce.
