Sample Request vs Customer Request

The Customer Requests module is divided into 5 different steps.

The Status order is as follows:

  • Open: As soon as the Customer Request is created
  • Pending Approval: When the Customer Request is submitted for approval
  • Approved: Once the Approver has approved the Customer Request
  • Rejected: When the Approver has rejected the Customer Request
  • Closed/Stopped: When the Customer Request is closed but the process was not completed (ex: Customer is no longuer requesting the current demand)
  • Closed/Completed: When the Customer Request is completed and closed


These different steps are sub-divided into the following sections on the Customer Request page:

  • Case information
  • Customer Contact Information
  • Description
  • Resolution
  • Closure


Changing the Status of the Customer Request is a manual process for the following Status:

  • Close/Stopped
  • Close/Completed

Nevertheless, for the other Status, the values are automatically updated:

  • Open: Default status after creation of a Customer Request
  • Pending Approval: Automatically updated when the Customer Request is submitted for approval
  • Approved: Automatically updated when the Approver approves the Customer Request OR when the user creating the Customer Request has a Salesrep profile
  • Rejected: Automatically updated when the Approver rejects the Customer Request
  • Resolved: Automatically updated when the fields Resolution Date and Resolution are populated
Sample Requests are done directly in Case using the Sample Request functionality. No Customer Request is created for it.
Customer Requests and Sample Requests are separated processes and no Customer Request is created for a Sample Request.
