Approving Stock Requests Manually

Before you can reserve inventory to fulfill an order from any source, you must approve it. If you do not want to use the approval process, make sure that you have selected the Auto Stock Approval check box on the Setup Fulfillment page. If you receive stock requests from a third-party application, ensure that all demand rows are marked as Approved.

You can approve stock requests manually using the Approve Stock Request page or the Shortage Workbench.
