Know More About Booking Approval Flow With The Following Video

1. Understand the Booking Flow

Each sales agent (Sales app user) can create multiple bookings on a single lead using the Sales app. Each booking will go through an approval process before it is closed. After an agent creates a booking, it is sent for approval.

Both level 1 and level 2 approvers get options to approve or reject the booking. If a booking gets rejected at any level, the booking goes back to the creation stage, where the agent can now edit booking info and send for approval again. And then the approval will start from level 1 onwards.

Let's understand, the complete process of creating bookings and how to send them for approval.

2. Creating a Booking & Mandatory Fields (*)

A Booking gets automatically created when a lead is moved to Final Negotiation or Booking Done Bucket.  

When the user moves a lead from a bucket (claimed/Interested/meeting done/visit done) to Final Negotiation Or Booking Done, a Booking form comes up, where the user requires to fill in Booking details.

Note: 

I. While moving the lead to Final Negotiation or Booking Done bucket, the Configuration (*) field is mandatory. However, it's advised to fill in all the details that appear in Booking Form i.e. Unit No, Floor No, Base Price, Floor Price, Area(sqft), Building Name, etc...

II. You can always go back and Update the Booking Information. 

III. More bookings can be created on leads in the Booking Done bucket, from the lead details screen.

3. Registering Co-Applicants

On a particular booking, multiple co-applicants can now be added. This can be done when editing booking info for a particular booking. Clicking on "Add co-applicant" and specific "co-applicants" details like his name, PAN, and Aadhaar details.

4. Sending Bookings for Approvals

After bookings are created on the lead, each booking can be sent for approval after filling up all necessary information. After a booking is sent for approval, its approval status is now visible on the screen.

If all the required information is not filled up in the booking info form, the booking will not be sent for approval and the screen will display a blocker message.

Note: 

i. Bookings can be removed and canceled after creation. No booking can be canceled or removed during the pending approval state.

ii. Once a booking is sent for approval, booking info cannot be edited further. The status of approvals at each level is visible on the app, as soon as the booking is sent for approval.
