Your role prepares what production will use. Open Materials for exact material definitions and Policy for keep, storage and search decisions. Saving a draft is a preparation step; it does not make that draft govern new pieces or reservations.
Establish the source meaning
Collect the agreed material codes, families and properties. Preserve leading zeros, letter case and meaningful spaces. An alias represents the exact barcode the scanner reads. Check whether another material already uses it before preparing a change. Material changes wait for their own reviewer release.
For a policy, agree the measurement practice, cut allowances, conditions and useful length thresholds with the people responsible for the process. Give each rule a meaningful sentence and a stable key. Choose what the rule decides, then express when it applies. Order determines which matching rule is tried first within its stage.
Build evidence with the draft
Add examples of pieces or jobs and independently decide the expected result. Include a case for each rule and each stage default. Cover the edge of a length threshold, an exact batch and missing information where those facts matter. The examples should challenge the intended rule, rather than simply repeat the rule's wording.
Use Save rules and examples before running proof. The proof and release operate on saved content. Inspect the displayed length boundaries, batch changes and rack comparison. A passing proof demonstrates the cases shown, so add another case whenever an important intention is still untested.
Hand over the exact revision
Give the reviewer the draft revision, process source, changed defaults and intended effects on current stock. For policy release, local self-review settings apply outside Automation enrolment. Enrolled policy review requires independent case and whole-release reviews in Automation, with exact approval required for publication. Another role is needed for supervisory corrections or floor actions.
Follow Draft rules and examples, Prove and release policy and Control materials. If assisted authoring is unavailable or unclear, retain the agreed meaning and continue through the structured editor.
