An AA may also prevent users from sending orders to the vendor. This knowledge base describes how to setup these restrictions. 

Note: A Site Administrator (SA) may also enable these restrictions for individual accounts.

  2. In the section Quotes, Sales and Orders, place a check mark next to the items you wish to restrict
