    Approval process in Salesforce is an automotive process which approves records for salesforce. As the process is automotive it works on certain criteria. The approval process may include rejection, recalled or first time submission of approval.

    This automated process is handled using steps defined by the developer. It may be single step approval or for more secure it can be multi-steps approval.

    Common steps for approval in salesforce are:

    Setup -> Create -> Workflow and Approval -> Approval Process
    Select object for approval process to be written
    Click on Create New Approval Process
    Select Standard Setup Wizard from drop down
    Enter the Process name, Unique Name and description for your process
    Specify Entry criteria
