This setting lets the customer account/group website admin decide whether their users need approval to buy non-contracted items. It can be set at the customer account level so that all users are included, or specified at each role or user level. The set of contracted items must have been defined in the contract. Contracted buying rules are usually done in the ERP and integrated online. The setting can be applied at the customer, role or user levels.  


NOTE - Contracted items must have been set up and integrated for the customer. Learn more: Contract Buying & Selling
