# Configure a unit and accept its exact result

Evaluate declared inputs against the active family, inspect the full preview and accept deliberately.

Review edition: 25 October 2026

Roles: supervisor

Configure one unit from a released family and trustworthy source inputs. The accepted result is a fixed record of applying that model. This release produces evaluation results and does not confirm manufacture, inspection, stock availability or order approval.

## Enter the source facts

Open Configurations and choose Product family. Confirm the selected approved family release. Enter its dimensions and options using the declared units and allowed values. Add Source unit reference and Other source references when they help establish the basis of the task.

Do not copy a missing source value from another unit merely because the model accepts it. Use the actual checked source or stop for clarification. Conditional inputs and blocking conditions belong to the released model, so investigate a refusal rather than bypassing it.

## Inspect Evaluation preview

Choose Evaluate configuration. Read its status and reasons, Family release and Review expires time. Inspect Original inputs, Normalised inputs, Exact named values and Components for one unit. Compare the complete result with the intended unit before acceptance.

Changing any input makes the previous preview unusable. A changed release or expired review also requires evaluation again. The old values should not be carried forward as current instructions. A blocked or invalid preview cannot provide a usable engineering pack.

## Accept only the checked result

Choose Accept this exact result when the current preview is valid and correct. The server rechecks the input and release evidence. Read the recorded outcome and open the accepted result to confirm its reference and provenance.

If the answer is lost, use the command's original-receipt recovery before preparing another acceptance. A missing answer does not mean the first acceptance failed. Keep the source facts and accepted reference with the enquiry.

Use [Issue packs and record handover](/manuals/factoryspec/packs-and-handover) for sharing. If the source later changes, follow [Amend or remake](/manuals/factoryspec/amend-or-remake) so the accepted history stays fixed while the next evaluation has an explicit relationship to it.
