Reviewing Orders Awaiting Approval

Access the Work With Orders Awaiting Approval form.

Orders older than days

Enter a number that indicates the age of an order and limits the quantity of orders that the system displays.

The age of an order is the difference (in days) between the order date and today's date. The system displays only orders that are as old as or older than the number of days that you enter.

For example, assume today is May 15. These orders exist:

May 15 - Order # 104

May 14 - Order # 103

May 13 - Order # 102

If you leave this field blank, the system displays all orders. If you enter 1 in this field, the system displays only orders 103 and 102.

Waiting more than days

Enter a number that indicates the quantity of days that an order has been awaiting approval and limits the quantity of orders that the system displays.

If you enter a number in this field, the system displays only those orders that have been awaiting approval for at least the number of days that you specify.
