Supervisors

Purpose and when to use this record

Grant a supervisor only the override categories they are allowed to authorize with their protected credentials.

At a glance

• Identify it by: Name.

• Why care: Setup changes can alter navigation, alerts, and authorization for many users. Test the effect with the intended role or device before broad use.

Before you begin

You need the Brisk permission for the action you are taking on supervisors. If a Create, Edit, or Delete control is absent, do not work around it with another user’s account; ask an administrator to review your role.

Create a supervisor

Create a supervisor after searching for the person, organization, item, location, or resource under alternate names and identifiers. Merge or correct an existing master record instead of creating a duplicate.

1. Select the business context first.

2. Enter the required identifying and operational values: Name, Initials, and Password.

3. Review Point Of Sale Pricing Override, Sales Override, Return Override, Accounting Period Lock Override, A/R Discount System Override, and Accounting Override, plus the remaining screen fields deliberately; these choices control availability or workflow rather than merely describing the record.

4. Save the supervisor, then confirm Name on its detail page before continuing.

After saving: Verify this supervisor in Supervisor Logs before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Review supervisor details

Use the detail page as the shared record of what this supervisor currently means. Verify Name, Initials, Password, and Point Of Sale Pricing Override before relying on it for a decision.

Compare the supervisor with its source document or approved setup request before deciding that it needs correction.

Next check: Verify this supervisor in Supervisor Logs before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Edit an existing supervisor

Edit this supervisor to keep the same real-world party, item, location, or resource accurate. Do not repurpose it for a different entity after activity is attached.

1. Open the detail page. Compare Name with the supporting document or approved request.

2. Recheck Accounting Period Lock Override, and Accounting Override. These values are most likely to change navigation, notifications, access, and other users’ behavior.

3. Save the change, return to the list, and confirm that the supervisor now appears under the expected Name.

After the change: Verify this supervisor in Supervisor Logs before staff build new activity on it; correct ownership, classification, and active state now rather than after transactions accumulate.

Find and review supervisors

Use the Supervisors list to find the correct record before opening or changing it. Compare Name. Compare the full identifier rather than relying on a similar name.

• The initial order emphasizes Id. Select a column heading when you need a different comparison.

Open the supervisor whose Name match the task. If it is missing, clear the list filters and recheck the identifying information shown on the screen rather than creating a replacement immediately.

Common mistakes and troubleshooting

• The record will not save: Recheck Name, Initials, and Password and any message beside the field. A required related record may also be inactive or unavailable to your role.

• The values look right but the result is wrong: Compare this supervisor with the source document or approved setup decision, then check the downstream screen where it is used.
