Use the Authorization reminders scheduled task to send the reminders by e-mail to the account managers and sub-accounts who have orders that need to be authorized.

It is used to enforce the business rules of a company to ensure that all orders are within budget. In the Sana webstore, account managers can create sub-accounts with a limited budget whose orders need to be authorized if an order exceeds the limit. For more information, see Shop Account Roles.
