Which status indicates that a sales order is yet to be approved?

The status that indicates a sales order is yet to be approved is "Pending approval." This status is specifically designated for sales orders that have been created but are awaiting review and authorization from the appropriate personnel within the organization. The approval process is a critical step in ensuring that all necessary checks have been made before any further processing, such as fulfillment or billing, can take place.

Sales orders marked as "Pending approval" signal to the system and the users that further action is needed to move the order along in the workflow. Once the order receives the necessary approvals, its status can change, allowing for subsequent steps to be taken, such as fulfillment.

The other statuses, such as "Fulfilled," "In process," and "Completed," represent different stages in the order lifecycle where the order has already passed the approval stage, meaning they cannot indicate that the order still requires approval. Thus, "Pending approval" accurately reflects the initial state of sales orders requiring authorization.
