In addition, assign specific locations of the company to each contact defining the locations where the contact is authorized to place an order.

Quotes
Implement RFQ functionality in your BigCommerce store, allowing B2B customers to submit quote requests directly from the website. You can then respond with personalized quotes, negotiate terms, and convert them into orders seamlessly.
Sales Orders
When an order is placed by a user under a specific company, it is associated with the appropriate customer record in Acumatica. This ensures that all orders placed by contacts of a customer in Acumatica are tagged to the correct customer record. Moreover, shipping and billing addresses are pulled from the customer/company record automatically.
Approval Workflows
Once a user under a company creates a quote or places an order, B2B approval workflows come into action to ensure that only approved records are created and assigned to the company.
Company Admins can create users, assign them to existing or new roles within the system, define approval authority by role/amount, etc. giving granular approval capabilities.
Quick Order
The checkout behavior of B2B buyers is different from that of B2C customers. In many cases, B2B buyers do not browse the product catalog and add items to the cart individually. To accommodate this behavior, the Catalog quick order functionality is introduced. B2B users can conveniently place orders by entering the SKU and quantity directly or by uploading a file containing a list of SKUs and corresponding quantities.
Self Service
The integration enables B2B customers to manage their accounts directly through the BigCommerce B2B store. They can view order history, track shipments, manage addresses, and access other self-service features such as creating new users, roles, assigning users to roles, resetting passwords, etc. with all activity synchronized to Acumatica ERP.
