Done! The Corporate Group is now created in Salesforce
Once the Corporate Group is created, an automatic approval request is sent to Sales & Marketing for approving the new Corporate Group. During this period, Corporate Group is locked and can’t be used in other part of the system.
•The status of the approval is visible on the Corporate group page :
Once the Corporate Group is validated, you can link accounts to it by using the “Parent Account” field
Sales & Marketing will receive an email notification, will review the request, and accept or decline it by clicking on Approve / Reject

Comments can be added before clicking on Approve or Reject

•If the Corporate Group creation is validated, status is updated to “Validated” and Corporate Group can be used in the system as Parent Account several accounts. By default all the Corporate Groups loaded at go-live will be on status “Validated”
•If the Corporate Group creation is rejected, status is updated to “Rejected” and no one can use the Corporate Group in the system.
