Approvals let your practice check an order before any supplier sees it. When approvals are on, an order waits as **Pending Review** until it has collected the sign-offs your account asks for, and only then can it be sent. You choose how many approvals an order needs and who may give them.

Only account admins can change these settings.

Most practices start with one approval. Raise the number if larger orders should be seen by more than one person, such as an office manager and a doctor.

Two more switches under **Order Settings** fine-tune who has to wait:

Approving is a permission each person gets per location. Open **Account Settings** > **Users**, press **Edit** on a person, and under **Roles per Location** choose:

Give approvers **Purchaser Level 2** at every location whose orders they look after, or choose **All Locations**. See [Roles and permissions](/docs/team-and-account/roles-and-permissions).

An approver who changes their mind can press **Undo Approval** for as long as the order has not been sent. The full walkthrough is in [Approve an order](/docs/orders/approve-an-order).

On the **Orders** page, the **Pending approvals** counter shows how many orders are waiting for a yes, and the **Pending Review** filter lists them.

Decide whether orders need a sign-off before they go to your suppliers, and how many.
