- | |||
- | Certain companies require that an activity be 'pre-approved' prior to the partner moving ahead with the MDF/Co-Op funded | ||

- | activity form. This allows CAMs the ability to acknowledge their pre-approval, should they wish to do so. The system notes | ||
- | who and when a pre-approval was made. If your co-op program doesn't require this step, then you do not have to use this | ||
