To set up approvals for agent agreements, you must first create the approval scheme you want to be used. After it is created, you can add it to agent agreements.

You must have the Product Management role to manage approval schemes. To create an approval scheme:

1. Click Product Manager > Approvals.
2. Click Create.
3. Type a name and description for the approval scheme. Make sure the scheme name is easily recognizable to you and your administrators.
4. Click Save. The approval scheme's details display and the Default level is created. The Default level is mandatory for all approval schemes.
5. Configure the following options for the Default level:
   • Auto switched to on: all changes made to the agreements are automatically approved and updated on Marketplace. Click to select one or more buyer administrators who will be notified by email if a price list changes. The selected administrators do not need to take any action since the changes are automatically approved.
   • Auto switched to off: Click to choose at least one buyer administrator who can approve changes to the agreements' price lists. One of the selected administrators must approve any price changes, added items, or removed items.
6. If needed, click Add level to add an additional level of approvals. You can add up to four additional approval levels. To configure an approval level:
   1. Click in the Rules section to display all possible rules. Rules are changes to the price list for which an administrator's approval can be required.
   2. Click to select a rule. The available rule options are:
      • Item added - Any item is added to the price list.
      • Item removed - Any item is removed from the price list.
      • Base price increased - The base price of any item is increased by a defined percentage.
      • Base price decreased - The base price of any item is decreased by a defined percentage.
      • Base units - The number of base units in the price list changes.
      • Base unit of measure - The base unit of measure for any item changes.
