Approval Steps for Orders

InventoryPro lets you decide when an order can move ahead on its own and when it must wait for review. Purchase, shipping, and work orders can each carry their own approval chain, so warehouse activity stays aligned with your spending limits and operating rules.

  • Review steps can be different for purchasing, shipping, and production
  • Partial approval can allow controlled quantity or price changes
  • Orders stay on hold until every required sign-off is complete

Alerts That Keep Work Moving

Approval rules are only useful if people actually see them. Inventory Pro sends new approval requests, status changes, and other events into the user notification queue so buyers and supervisors know what still needs action.

Notification rule screen with email triggers and event settings

Email alerts can back up in-app notices for urgent events. That helps remote managers and busy warehouse leads catch approval issues before they delay work.

Rule-Based Notification Setup

Beyond order approvals, your team can define alerts for low stock, missed dates, count variances, and other exceptions that need follow-up. Each rule can be tied to the users who should see it, which keeps messages useful instead of noisy.

Scheduled reports work alongside event alerts. You can send daily or weekly summaries on stock levels, open orders, or delayed activity so managers see trends without running the same reports by hand.

Audit History for Every Sign-Off

Every approval decision, alert, and view event is recorded with the user and time. That history gives warehouse managers a clean record of who approved what, when it happened, and where a delayed order got stuck.

Keep Orders Moving Without Guesswork

Start using approval rules, notifications, and audit history in the same cloud WMS that runs your inventory and warehouse work.
