Work procedure settings

Work procedure settings are branch-level rules for when work requires approval and when saved sales records become non-editable. Use this page to review or change the rules that apply to sales jobs, offers, orders, L/G requests, purchasing, and sales invoicing.

The page is a reference surface for fields, workflow uses, and update actions. It does not create a business record.

  • You know which company branch you need to review.

Steps

  1. Open Work procedure settings from the configuration area.

The Work procedure settings screen with its branch panels and page controls visible

Result: The Work procedure settings screen is open at /configuration/process-approvall, with the selected company-branch panel ready for review.

Understand the settings

Each company branch has settings that answer one question: should this activity use the approval rule, and should the related saved sales record be protected from editing? The page groups the choices by workflow use rather than by a business record.

The main settings groups are Apply reviewing, Apply approval for booking, and Non-editable mode (Disabled fields). The page also contains Apply approval for L/G, Apply approval for purchasing, and Apply approval for invoicing.
