<img src="https://mintcdn.com/servicem8/8wSrqKlkp8UNiPn-/images/003-618-723-59af5b2d-60b6-477a-b1cd-ca0e704f3271.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=8wSrqKlkp8UNiPn-&q=85&s=3952eac49e6878722842c0ccc15cb712" alt="The job we completed is now Awaiting Approval" width="772" height="357" data-path="images/003-618-723-59af5b2d-60b6-477a-b1cd-ca0e704f3271.png" />

The Awaiting Approval stage can be used in multiple ways:

* If your field techs don't add materials they can be added here.
* If your field techs add material but they need to be checked, it can be done here.
* A final check that your invoicing amount is correct.
* For marking invoices as transferred to a non-integrated accounting package. (Approve invoices once the information has been transferred)
* When integrated to an accounting package approving sends the invoice to the accounting package to be tracked.
