Auto-approve transactions that fulfill your defined specifications

ChainTraced can approve lot transactions from a supplier for you when the results meet your product specifications. This saves the manual review for the deliveries that need it: results out of specification, early warnings, or suppliers you want to keep an eye on.

Where: Registry > Counterparties, open the supplier, tab Settings, expand More Settings under Supplier.

The two settings

Setting

Approves automatically when

Auto approve transactions that match your specifications

One of your products is linked to the transaction, the product has specifications, every result on the attached manufacturing lot is within them, and no early warning is triggered. A transaction with a missing product, a product without specifications, or a failing result waits in Needs your approval.

Auto-approve products with no specifications

As above, and also when the linked product has no specifications at all (no characteristic or substance groups). Can only be switched on when the first setting is on.

Both apply per supplier, so you can trust one supplier's QA fully and review another's every delivery.

What is checked

  1. The transaction is a lot transaction. Product transactions are never auto-approved.

  2. A manufacturing lot is attached, with the results to compare.

  3. The supplier is a counterparty of yours and connected in ChainTraced.

  4. The linked product's specifications are met, or the product has none and the second setting is on.

  5. No early warning is triggered, if your company has the Early Warning setting on. Early warnings flag results that drift towards the limits over time; see Account setup and company settings.

An auto-approved transaction goes straight to Approved ; the supplier is notified as for a manual approval. Everything else lands in Needs your approval and is reviewed as described in View and Approve Supplier Transactions.
