Rejecting an approval request for a quote

If a quote is pending your approval, you can reject the request for approval if you do not want the quote to be presented to a customer in its current form. For example, if the discount offered for a product exceeds the maximum discount allowed for that product by more than 50%, and you do not want to approve the discount offered, you can reject the approval request.
