# Service order for fulfillment

# Approve or reject a service order for fulfillment {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 2 minutes to read  
Select a service order and review the account, contact, and date details to verify that the order is correct and complete. If you're a service order manager, you can approve or reject a service order with a New state for
fulfillment.

## Before you begin

Role required: sn_ind_tmt_orm.service_order_manager

## About this task

Note:  
If the following error message appears in the San Diego release or above after approving an order, it indicates that a required upgrade script was not run.  

```
Some of the OMT tables need reparenting. Please contact administrator to execute the reparenting script.
```

The Post Upgrade Script performs required order management table reparenting and column promotion. If the script hasn't been run, the order decomposition and order fulfillment functions won't function as designed until your system administrator runs it. To learn more, see [Restructured Order Management tables](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/jAIG_jIh5Z19GwOBZqALIQ "The table architecture that supports the Order Management for Telecommunications, Media, and Technology application has been restructured. Existing customers who upgraded from earlier releases to the San Diego release must first run a Post upgrade Script to reparent the order tables and then perform column promotions.").
