Plain English to a checked draft
- Load the current OrderRun draft
Load the current OrderRun draft
Load the order routing policy from OrderRun. It sends recognised brackets to the Brighouse assembly shop after an engineering check and holds unknown customers.
- Choose to create a rule
Choose to create a rule
Choose Create a rule, so the proposal covers both when the rule applies and what it does to the order.
- Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement as the team wrote it: hold BENCHCO orders that have no purchase-order reference.
- Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal. The AI replies with a question instead of guessing: a new rule needs its own identifier and a name for the hold.
- Add the details the AI asked for
Add the details the AI asked for
Keep the requirement and add the missing details: call the rule benchco-purchase-order-hold and name the hold purchase-order-required.
- Ask for the complete proposal
Ask for the complete proposal
Ask again. The AI now returns a complete rule. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.
- Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement. It says in plain words when the rule applies: the customer code is BENCHCO and no purchase-order reference is present.
- Inspect the proposed condition
Inspect the proposed condition
Inspect the condition in the same controls OrderRun uses: the customer code is BENCHCO, and no purchase-order reference is present.
- Check what will be saved
Check what will be saved
Read what the rule will save, field by field, each value under its own name.
- Check the rule identifier and the hold
Check the rule identifier and the hold
Check the identifier benchco-purchase-order-hold and the hold purchase-order-required, with no route, priority, check, extra approver or partial-delivery restriction.
- Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm that you checked the condition and every value. OrderRun still validates the whole policy when it saves.
- Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft. Saving does not approve, release or run the rule: expected results, proof and an independent review come next.
Only a draft was saved. Expected results, the native proof and an independent review come next.
