# Receiving Orders — Bulk Approve

> Approve multiple pending receiving orders at once from the listing screen, with a confirmation step and permission control.

Approve multiple receiving orders at once from the Receiving Orders listing screen.

### **Business Value**

* Speeds up processing by approving many receiving orders in one action.
* Reduces repetitive clicks versus handling each order individually.
* Restricts the action to users with the approve permission.
* Confirmation step prevents accidental approvals.

### **Use Cases**

* Cost controller selects a day's pending receiving orders and approves them all at once.
* Store supervisor without permission never sees the action, keeping control intact.

### **How It Works**

| **Where:** Back Office → Purchasing → Receiving Orders |
| ------------------------------------------------------ |

* Select one or more receiving orders in the listing screen.
* Open the **Actions** button at the start of the list and choose **Approve**.

* A confirmation dialog asks **"Approve the selected receiving orders?"** with **Yes** and **No** buttons.
  * **Yes** runs the approve action on the selected receiving orders.
  * **No** dismisses the action with no changes.

#### **Validations**

* Bulk Approve applies only to **Pending** receiving orders.
* The action is hidden for users without permission to approve receiving orders.

| Note: Bulk Approve builds on the [receiving order approval workflow](/back-office/purchasing/receiving-order-approve-and-reject-workflow). Receiving orders outside the eligible statuses are not affected by the action. |
