Troubleshooting

  • If an action is not visible, check role, permission, record status, and plan entitlement.
  • If data is missing, correct the source module and refresh this workspace.
  • Read the validation message before retrying; an approval or configuration step may be required.
  • Do not bypass protected correction or reversal by creating a duplicate record.
Important scope note: Available preparation actions depend on order status and warehouse assignment.
