To design a multi-leveled approval matrix for controlling discounts on quotes, Universal Containers should consider the following:

Identify backup approvers in case the primary approver is out of the office. This will ensure that the approval process is not delayed or stalled due to the unavailability of the primary approver. Backup approvers can be assigned using the Delegated Approver feature in Salesforce, which allows users to delegate their approval authority to another user for a specific period of time. 1

Define the discount threshold or limit allowed for the sales reps. This will help to enforce the pricing policies and prevent excessive or unauthorized discounts. The discount threshold or limit can be defined using the Approval Thresholds feature in Salesforce CPQ, which allows setting up different approval rules based on the discount percentage, amount, or margin. 2

Document the discount approval levels for each approver. This will help to clarify the roles and responsibilities of each approver and the criteria for approving or rejecting a quote. The discount approval levels can be documented usingthe Approval Processes feature in Salesforce, which allows creating a sequence of steps and actions that an approval request must go through. 3
