Artwork changes
Retain the reviewed artwork revision and dieline reference with released work. Assess existing WIP and customer commitments before adopting a successor revision.

For teams coordinating board, cutting references and customer-specific packs.
A carton or box maker needs the ordered product, selected board and current artwork basis to agree before production starts. The operating record should keep that basis visible through setup, performed work, inspection and actual dispatch.
Retain the reviewed artwork revision and dieline reference with released work. Assess existing WIP and customer commitments before adopting a successor revision.
Use explicit product units and record real setup and material loss. A planned sheet-to-pack expectation cannot establish the quantity of accepted finished packs.
Receive and reserve the actual substrate product in its approved unit. A released artwork or dieline reference does not make a planned board delivery available for production.

Related questionYes. Plan a phase around a defined entity and process, with clear ownership of the work that remains in other tools. Reconcile the opening position, integrations and handoffs before launch; retire the old tool for that scope after its outstanding work is accounted for.
Related questionThe design supports entity-specific functional currencies and accounting calendars. Group reporting needs explicit period mappings, translation policies and ownership methods. A locked consolidation retains those choices and its source amounts so a later change cannot silently rewrite the result.
Related questionThe accepted offer carries its approved prices, discounts and revision into the order. Invoice allocations retain the source quantities and net amounts so conversion cannot apply a discount again. A contract billing cycle selects an order-led or direct-invoice route and retains that identity to prevent duplicate billing.
Related questionEvery purchase order needs an eligible approver who did not prepare it. The Buyer or Controller acts within the specified authority. A Controller releases a payment run within their limit and independently of its preparer and included bill approvers. Delegation requires the necessary role and never removes those independence rules.
Related questionAccess to individual pay, national IDs and employee bank details is restricted. Sales roles do not receive it, and administrative access does not override the restriction. Finance review can use payroll totals and reconciliation evidence; authorized HR and payroll roles retain the detailed access needed for their work.
Related questionConnections are implementation work and depend on the selected provider and country. Confirm the supported formats, identity, acknowledgements and reconciliation behavior during rollout. A payment-file acknowledgement is distinct from settlement, and a configured tax code is not evidence of filing coverage.
Related questionYes, through a planned and reconciled migration. Preserve source identifiers and partial processing history so an already received, shipped, billed or paid amount cannot be processed again. Opening stock, ledger, asset, leave and payroll balances need controlled imports with clear posting boundaries.
Related questionAssistants can prepare drafts, propose matches and collect evidence within their assigned access. Required human approvals stay with the accountable role. They cannot bypass document review, payment release, credit controls or sensitive employee access.
Related questionUse Proto to propose changes on a branch and review them before release. The process owner should check changes to posting, permissions, payroll or approval rules against existing transactions and the agreed operating policies. Machine work and model usage remain metered.
