This option would be beneficial to customers requesting a multi-user account, with the ability to place orders for different departments.

Budget accounts can also be used as an alternative for multiple approvers/managers where an account owner can set it up so that a sub user placing an order can select who the order should go to for approval. Please note that for this option, the account owner will still be required to approve the order as well if the selected manager requires approval.

Users can set up budget accounts from the storefront. If using budget accounts for multi-approvers, the approvers must have a manager role.
