A wholesale portal should route buyer carts through a simple approval matrix by role, amount, or category before release. Week one on Parcel Build is that first working version: clear rules, owner, and next action for waiting carts. You own the code. Flat monthly. See custom software for wholesalers.

Which approval routing rules belong in a week-one matrix (and which can wait)?
Week one can cover a small set of buyer-company rules: who may submit, which role or amount or category needs approval, and a clear owner for carts waiting release. Unlimited nested approver chains, seller commercial exception queues as the primary path, and multi-entity legal structures as the primary path can wait until that matrix earns its keep.
On Parcel Build, week one is a first working version of that path. Flat monthly. You own the code.
Why a single manager-approves-everything rule still leaves category and threshold exceptions in email
One manager rule covers most carts. Category exceptions and threshold exceptions still land in email. Approvers do not see who owns the next step. Buyers open a second thread because the first cart has no visible status.
The stall is missing a simple routing matrix with owner and next action. A portal path keeps role, amount, and category rules in one place instead of inbox triage.
What stays out of month one
Defer seller commercial exception queues as the primary path. Defer warehouse release gates as the primary path. Defer multi-entity legal structures as the primary path. Month one is a buyer-company cart approval routing matrix with clear rules and ownership for known accounts.
FAQ
Is a cart approval routing matrix the same as seller commercial exception holds?
No. Seller commercial exception holds are seller-side reviews when a cart needs commercial review before release. A cart approval routing matrix is buyer-company routing by role, amount, or category before the company releases the cart. They can sit together later. Week one can prove the matrix without cloning seller exception holds as the primary path.
Does week one need unlimited nested approver chains before a two-rule matrix is useful?
No. Week one can start with a small matrix, such as role plus amount or category. Unlimited nested chains can wait until that two-rule path earns its keep.
