Sarah Hughes is signed in with only the Supervisor role. This is a fictional Hartwell & Pryce Engineering example. Approved rules, a prepared source file and an issued two-unit order are already present. Every answer comes from the real product using isolated test services.

## Review and accept an incoming order

1. **Choose the office menu**

   Choose the office menu.

   Use your Supervisor role to review source history and accepted work.

2. **Open Orders and amendments**

   Open Orders and amendments.

   The fictional source file has already been scanned and prepared through OrderRun. Preparing a file does not accept its orders.

3. **Inspect the automatic decision**

   Inspect the automatic decision.

   Approved rules selected the destination and required checks. AI does not decide that work happened.

4. **Open the source history decision**

   Open the source history decision.

   A first order needs an authorised starting point. Arrival time alone cannot prove which revision is current.

5. **Keep the source owner’s authority**

   Keep the source owner’s authority.

   In this example the source owner confirmed the opening sequence. Keep that evidence with your decision.

6. **Confirm the reviewed starting point**

   Confirm the reviewed starting point.

   This confirms the source history only. Manufacturing acceptance remains a separate action.

7. **Accept the manufacturing revision**

   Accept the manufacturing revision.

   Accept the exact reviewed revision. This creates the outstanding units, but does not approve or issue a factory pack.

Keep accepted orders, issued packs, reviewed reports and physical departure separate. A demonstration is not permission to release customer work. Ask a Supervisor about a hold or unclear result.
