 If you don't like something in an order, don't cancel the order since it may have more than just that item in it.  Instead, you approve the order on [[admin_menu/orders/manage_orders/start|Manage Orders]], then go over to [[admin_menu/orders/manage_items/start|Manage Items]] and decline the actual item in the order. Likewise, if you never received payment for an item, don't decline the item, instead set the order the item is in to canceled or other appropriate //declined// status type.  An order that is set to a //declined// status type will have all order items in that order declined as well. If you don't like something in an order, don't cancel the order since it may have more than just that item in it.  Instead, you approve the order on [[admin_menu/orders/manage_orders/start|Manage Orders]], then go over to [[admin_menu/orders/manage_items/start|Manage Items]] and decline the actual item in the order.

-===== Approval Setting Locations ===== 
- 
-Is the system making you approve things and you are not sure why?  Or do you want to force approval of something?  There are 2 parts that can be auto approved, or require admin approval:  approval of payment received, and approval of things before they go live. 
- 
-To force (or not force) admin approval of orders, meaning you want to verify whether you received payment or not, that is done for each individual payment gateway in [[admin_menu/payments/payment_gateways/start|Payments > Payment Gateways]].  For most gateways, you would click //configure//, then check the box for //needs admin approval//. 
- 
-  PAYMENTS > PAYMENT GATEWAYS > [CONFIGURE] (next to the appropriate payment gateway) 
- 
-To force (or not force) admin approval of order items, meaning you want to screen new/edit/renew/upgrade listings, that is set on a per "price plan item" which is per price plan, per category basis.  Those settings are in [[admin_menu/pricing/price_plans_home/plan_items/start|Pricing > Price Plans Home > Edit Price Plan > Cost Specifics]] at the bottom of the //cost specifics// page.  Note that these settings apply even if you have [[admin_menu/pricing/charge_for_listings/start|charge for listings?]] turned off((The //cost specifics// page has more settings on it than just things dealing with cost)). 
- 
-  PRICING > PRICE PLANS HOME > [EDIT] > COST SPECIFICS > [EDIT] (next to specific listing type)

-  - If you do not find it in either place, another more rare cause is if the user is already editing/renewing/upgrading/etc. the listing, or the listing is being edited by the admin user.  If the admin user starts to edit a listing but does not complete the edit process, it will create an incomplete order in the system.  When this happens, simply log in as the admin user on the client side, go to "view cart" Delete the listing edit from the cart if you see it there, or cancel the edit if it is still in middle of editing the listing.+  - If you do not find it in either place, check to make sure the listing is not currently being edited by the admin user.  If the admin user starts to edit a listing but does not complete the edit process, it will create an incomplete order in the system that will block further actions on that listing.  When this happens, simply log in as the admin user on the client side, go to "view cart" Delete the listing edit from the cart if you see it there, or cancel the edit if it is still in middle of editing the listing.
