Approving Orders

Here's How To Approve Orders in Bionic for Agencies.

Learn in Bionic Academy: Manage Orders

Once you have set up orders, you are able to approve them to indicate they are ready to place. The process of approving orders can be done individually or in batch. Once orders are approved, the orders and placements within those orders will be locked for editing. You will need to revoke the orders to edit them.

Orders can be approved electronically, or you can record sign offs that have occurred offline.

In this article, we'll cover:

Approve Orders in Batch

When approving orders in batch, you can only approve them electronically.

  1. In the Orders tab, select the checkbox next to the orders you would like to approve. Or you can select the checkbox in the Header row to select all orders in the list. This is helpful when using a filter to narrow down the orders displayed.
  2. Press the Approve button.
  3. Enter your Signature and select the desired font.
  4. Press Approve.

NOTE: Once an order is approved, you can move on to generating insertion orders. If insertion orders are unnecessary, such as many Search, Social, & Programmatic buys, you can skip that step.
