Vendor commitment approval

Prepare a vendor booking with the couple's approval, submit it, decide it and mark it delivered.

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • A commitment is submitted without the couple's approval recorded.
  • The fee changes after approval and the vendor proceeds on the old decision.
  • The same vendor is spelled differently on different events and reports split their totals.
