SO approval workflow best practice question

edited Dec 6, 2019 2:34PM in General 2 comments

Hi all,
When a SO is in the status of "Pending Approval" we notice that the items go uncommitted and the items are free to be grabbed by other SOs.
This makes an issue for our Sales team who are expecting large orders - so they need the SO to go in "Pending Approval" status but also want the items to stay commited.
As I understand, by design NetSuite does this.
Is there any setting native to NetSuite that can be enabeld or disabled to make sure the items stay commited in the Pending Approval status?
If not, is there any other way we can achieve this - via a simple workflow or maybe scripting?

Howdy, Stranger!
