You define how supported source values map to OrderRun and which approved conditions apply. You save and prove draft configuration. An Author cannot make that configuration live or approve production work merely by saving it.
Begin with the source contract
Read Source contract and confirm the actual source namespace, customer/item identities and supported fields. Agree the manufacturing meaning with the source owner. Do not silently change a customer's commercial agreement when defining a manufacturing mapping.
In Mappings and routing, inspect the active release and the draft you intend to change. The native page supports the closed structured format it displays; unrecognised fields or actions are refused.
Prepare independent expectations
Write examples from the intended business requirement before relying on actual results. Include a normal accepted case, a missing mapping, a route conflict and the boundary that caused the change.
Check more than whether an order is eligible. Review the selected destination, holds, priority, extra-approval requirement and whether partial despatch is permitted where those outputs apply.
Save and prove
Save the current draft. If another revision has been saved, reload and compare before applying your change. Use the proof control for that saved revision and inspect every expected result.
When plain-English authoring is available, a proposal still needs explicit review and adoption. Where Open in SmartFACT Automation is offered, it opens the current draft's connected workspace; it does not grant additional native permission.
Read mappings and rules.
Hand over to an independent Reviewer
Provide the saved draft/revision, requirement, proof and unresolved questions. OrderRun rejects activation by a person recorded as a contributor to that version. Holding Author and Reviewer on one identity does not waive that check.
If the Reviewer requests a change, save and prove the revised work. A note sent separately cannot alter the configuration they are approving.
Stay within the authoring role
Authors can inspect the source contract and rule boundaries. Operational order records, intake acceptance, production release and evidence approval need their own roles. Ask a Supervisor for a permitted operational example rather than assuming Author provides unrestricted customer-order access.
