Source acceptance establishes requirements. Factory release selects and authorises the exact work to manufacture. You need Supervisor and a site whose current checks allow the action.
Select the outstanding work
Open the accepted order in Orders and amendments. Inspect holds, current revision and Outstanding obligations to manufacture. Select the obligations actually intended for this release.
Use Prepare release for selected obligations. Preparation freezes a unit set, source requirement revision and rule evaluation for review. Read its state and expiry; a prepared record is not yet an issued pack.
Review the exact preparation
Open Review the frozen unit set and rule version. Compare the unit identities, requirement revision, policy and preparer with the intended work. Check the displayed number of approvals required and already recorded.
If requirements or conditions changed, do not approve merely because the preparation existed earlier. Follow any instruction to refresh or prepare current work.
Approve and issue
Use Approve exact release when appropriate. Meet the approvals actually required by that preparation; do not assume a single click always completes every release.
When its state permits issue, use Issue factory pack. Check the returned pack identity and destination. The issued pack preserves the selected instructions and unit identities.
Treat the pack as exposed instructions
Under Issued packs and receiver reports, open the pack's download when needed. A downloaded file may be acted on. Saving or sending it does not establish that the receiver accepted its contents or did no work.
Follow receiving reports to record and review the receiver's actual answer. If a later source revision or policy withdrawal affects the pack, coordinate the resulting reconciliation before issuing replacement instructions.
If an answer is lost or an approval is refused
Use the page's original-command check and read the retained state. Avoid preparing another unit set just because a browser answer did not arrive. Keep the order, preparation and pack references with the investigation.
Publication of a mapping/policy is not a substitute for this operational approval, and the Reviewer role alone does not issue factory packs.
