Approve inputs, activate proven releases and qualify the exact Automatic scope.

Review edition: 25 October 2026

Roles: reviewer

You decide which parcel inputs and decision configuration may be used. Your approval is separate from the Operator's booking action and the Owner's technical set-up.

## Review service and parcel inputs independently

In **Presets**, open **Review complete inputs** for the submitted input set. Check the carrier account/service, lane, parcel mapping or fixed parcel values and output. You must be a different person from its submitter.

Use **Approve inputs** only when those exact inputs are correct. Use the offered withdrawal action when an approval should no longer be relied on. Do not infer an input's approval from a candidate that happened to verify.

## Check a release candidate

Inspect the saved configuration, independently expected examples and full proof for Presets, Guided or Assisted. Check dependencies against the current preset release and source catalogue.

Use the release activation action and required recent second factor. The native preset release process can request a self-approval reason when the same person created its candidate. That is distinct from the stricter independent-input check and any connected-workspace review requirements.

## Enable decision modes deliberately

Activation of a Guided or Assisted release and switching the site's mode are separate controls. Check the active release and permitted mode before enabling it. The site does not use Guided and Assisted presentation simultaneously.

Tell Operators what confirmation is required by the selected mode. A mode change is not an acknowledgement of an already attempted booking.

## Automatic has additional gates

Review **Automatic** evidence and scope. Its qualification requires the current proof, enough comparable despatches/operating days, resolved disagreements, agreeing selections and observed branches. Read the exact counts and failures shown.

Approve the qualified scope only after every gate passes. Qualification, station enablement and the Operator arming the station are three separate actions. A saved proposed scope or enablement is not operational approval.

Read [Automatic](/manuals/parceloffice/automatic) before enabling it. It can create carrier bookings from work-order scans without another confirmation, so scope and printer readiness are material parts of the approval.
