Reviewers make supplier and rule releases live after checking the frozen content and proof. This is different from approving a purchase order, which requires supervisor authority.
Inspect the whole change
Open Releases and the frozen release. Read the supplier, supplier-item, rule and example changes against the active catalogue. Pay particular attention to supplier destinations, unit conversion, target links, packs, minimum quantities, approval routing and sending choices.
Read the proof and impact preview, including unapproved draft lines that may be retired, requests to recalculate and destinations to review. Check that the examples express the intended outcomes independently, including refusal and unknown-value cases. A pass indicator is not a substitute for reading the decision the rule will make.
Apply the actual review policy
A reviewer who contributed to the release cannot activate it unless the site's owner has allowed self-review. The release records whether self-review occurred. This checks all recorded authors, not merely the last person who opened the draft.
Automation-managed changes have additional qualification and independent-review controls. Do not assume that enabling local self-review removes them. Use the linked Automation work and its current evidence when that workflow applies.
Make the release live only with current recent Accounts verification and the exact frozen content. Changed content, proof or current authority can cause refusal. Return work to draft when it needs correction, then require a fresh freeze and proof.
Plan a replacement deliberately
A reviewer can copy the live release into a new draft. The new work still needs normal authoring, freeze and activation. Earlier approved orders keep their frozen approved details and documents; a new catalogue does not rewrite them.
Tell the supervisor which purchasing behaviour changed. Keep catalogue release approval separate from order submission, supplier communication and physical receipt. Follow rules and releases for the complete review path.
