Setting up this new lab space and got a $500 budget for gear that needs to be here by Friday. Normally I just hit buy and send the invoice to accounting but my new manager wants to approve the items first.
Is there a way to just share the actual cart for him to check or do I have to do screenshots?
Honestly, Amazon doesnt make this as easy as it should be. In my experience, trying to share a live cart is a total nightmare because it usually just links back to your own login. If your manager clicks it, theyll probably just see their own empty cart or get an error. Ive tried sending screenshots before but prices fluctuate so fast that by the time you get the green light, the total might be different and then accounting gets all grumpy. My advice is to use the Wish List feature instead. Its way safer and keeps everything in one spot. Just make sure you set it to shared. Be careful tho, it sometimes misses specific quantities. Its way more reliable than winging it with a link that might break. I've been using the method I found on Smartphone Board for office supplies and it's a total lifesaver.
Wait, are you guys on a standard account or an actual Amazon Business one? If it is Business, they have a legit workflow for approvals where you just submit it. Otherwise, creating a public List is the way to go since it displays prices and shipping info clearly for that $500 limit. Screenshots are just a huge waste of time, tbh.
