Order approval flowchart

an ISO 5807 flowchart (`kind: flowchart`) of order approval. Order details come in through a data parallelogram and a predefined credit check decides; a failed check asks for prepayment (a manual operation) and waits up to 48 hours (a delay), an order over the limit needs a manager's sign-off, and approved orders end with a printed invoice (a document).
