# Approve Discounts in Industries CPQ

If your business requires you to request an approval for a discount, you can do so by using the **Discount Approval** button in the Industries CPQ Cart. By default, discounts are set to be auto-approved.

![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-ind-comms_media_energy_managed-264-0-0-production-enus/ff4079f6-a384-475c-b863-578bbbb0ef9b/images/icon_tip.png)

Tip

The **Discount Approval** button invokes an OmniScript which calls the Integration Procedure (IP), CPQ/Submit Discounts for Approval. The IP invokes a remote action which submits all discounts for approval that have a status of Not Submitted. You can enable the discount status to require approvals or set it to be approved automatically using the CMT Administration Console.

For approval status implementation, see [ApprovalStatusInterface](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.v_dev_t_approvalprocessinterface_652440.htm&type=5&language=en_US) and [DefaultApprovalStatusImplementation](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ind.v_dev_t_approvalprocessinterface_652440.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
