The system watches for the order approval system to determine that an order requires approval by a qualified approver. You can use the optional parameters within this element to further define the type of order to watch for.

Technical note: This element is triggered when the ScenarioManager receives an ApprovalRequired message sent by the sendApprovalRequiredMessage processor (class atg.commerce.approval.processor.ProcSendApprovalRequiredMessage). The processor sends this message when an order passes through the approveOrder pipeline chain and has been determined to require approval. For more information, see the Managing the Order Approval Process chapter in the ATG Commerce Programming Guide.
