How to make RITM workflow wait for Request Approval in Order Guide

Hello,

I have an order guide that requires approval, which will be done in the sc_request workflow. Depending on what the user chooses, there could up to 3 RITMs that come out of this order guide. Each RITM has its own workflow. The problem i am having is how to make the RITMs workflow not run until the approval is complete in the Request workflow. Right now, as soon as i submit the order guide, the Request workflow is waiting for approval, but the RITMs start running through their workflows before the approval is granted. Do i need to put some kind of wait for condition at the beginning of the RITM workflows? Is it possible to get values from the Request workflow into the RITM workflow? Does anyone have any ideas of how i could handle this?

thanks
