Draft vs confirm (critical)
| State | Meaning in FireAI ERP |
|---|---|
| Draft | Editable. Usually does not post stock or finalise the document. |
| Confirmed | Treated as final for day-to-day use. Often posts stock and restricts casual edit. |
Train this on day one
If your team confirms too early, fixing documents is harder. Make “draft for review, confirm when final” a spoken rule in the accounts room.
