Commit=perform//Account=customer or person you do business with


Explanation:
In this case, "Commit" means to do or perform the process of ordering something. "Account" means a customer that you do business with. Another way to say both phrases is: Place the order//Be aware of customers that pose a high level of risk /or/ be careful of risky customers.

neutral  Eva Blanar: I'm not sure about perform as a synonym here, to me, it looks like there is someone else in the process

  -> i think it's a synonym for "to order", basically they are saying "do the process of ordering". Extra context or sample text would help us decide.

make sure that the order process is updated and coordinated


Explanation:
it sounds to me like this is part of new system/procedure and they want to make sure that the order process is modified to include the changes

an account is a very basic term used in sales to define/describe the purchasing company
