Before you start
  • Use an account with Relevant Purchase view capability and confirm the intended record or setting before making a change.
  • Follow the exact route above. If the screen or action is absent, check module activation, ownership and permissions rather than using another person’s account.
  • Use controlled test data for configuration, integration, email, AI, payment, portal or automation changes before production-wide use.

  • Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
  • Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
  • Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
