# Approvals in Retail Execution

You can use approvals to control your business processes. Approvals allow a supervisor to approve, reject, or reassign business transactions. You can also set up approvals for specific order types. For example, return orders can be honored only if they are approved by a supervisor.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: Lightning Experience in <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, and <strong>Unlimited</strong> Editions that have Consumer Goods Cloud enabled.</td></tr></tbody></table>

Set up workflow driven approvals for business processes such as:

- Customer tasks management
- Time reporting
- Order taking: Approvals for advanced orders are shown on the desktop app only when Consider Selectable Promotion isn’t checked and Compute Price isn’t Offline (Button) or Offline (Edit Mode) in the order template.

Use Flows to set up workflow-driven approvals.
