Automate finance approvals for Cloud Account Management requests based on predefined conditions. Approve requests automatically when criteria are met. Otherwise, wait for manual approval. Modify the default policy to include additional
conditions as necessary.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_itom_cam.cw_admin

## About this task

This procedure demonstrates how to approve or reject a budget using the account budget approval policy. For example, if an account request includes a predefined approval policy, this process explains how the budget request is
approved or rejected automatically.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to AllCloud WorkspaceRequest Policies.
2. Select Subscription Account Creation Budget Approval.
3. Customize the policy by selecting Create copy.
4. Under the Policy builder tab, in the If condition block, make a note of the source fields against the highlighted values.  
   Note:  
   In this section, you're validating two conditions:
   1. Environment = Development
   2. Monthly budget \<= 500

   {#automate-account-budget-approval__ol_wfj_qln_zcc}
   <!-- -->

   1. Environment = Development or Test
   2. Monthly budget = \> 5000
   {#automate-account-budget-approval__ol_jrx_5ln_zcc}
5. Select Mappings.
6. Verify if the Document is assigned to Automation Activity: Finance auto approval for subscription account creation.  
   Note:  
   * If no document is linked, select Add and choose the Finance auto approval for subscription account creation document.
   * Map only one policy according to automation.
   * View or create documents in the sn_itom_cam_automation_activity.list table.
   {#automate-account-budget-approval__ul_wkn_smn_zcc}
7. **Optional:** To remove auto-approval, go to the Mappings tab and delete the mapped document.
