Check exact proofs, operational impact and reviewer independence before activation.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Reviewer

On this page

Reviewers decide whether proved material and policy drafts should become active. Your role permits proof and activation; it does not by itself permit editing draft content or recording physical stock work.

Review the saved revision

Open Materials and policies, then Open this draft under Retained drafts. Check the material or policy kind, revision and purpose. Read the saved content rather than relying on a colleague's description of an earlier version. Use Prove this exact draft if current proof is missing or stale.

For policy work, read the examples and impact evidence. Check both permitted and refused cases, affected demand and allocations. For material work, check quantity precision, exact conversions, lot tracking and identity compatibility. A release must fit the current site and approved dependencies.

Decide with current authority

Enter Reason for release, then use Activate this proved release only when the evidence supports it. Recent Accounts verification is required. If the site requires a distinct reviewer, the last editor cannot activate the draft. If the site permits self-review, the screen warns and the release records that fact. A second role on the same person does not create a second person.

Work managed through SmartFACT Automation has additional independent case and release reviews. A local self-review setting does not remove those requirements.

The server checks the proof against the exact draft and current conditions again. A stale-proof refusal means repeat the review on refreshed facts; do not try to reuse an old proof identifier.

Deal with a problematic release

A retained earlier release can be prepared as a rollback copy. Its content is fixed, and it still requires proof and activation against current conditions. Historical movements keep the release used when they were recorded.

Give the supervisor the affected items and operational risks while you investigate a policy change. Follow examples and releases for review and rollback details.
