As a Brand, you now have default support for locking declarations to ensure data accuracy and prevent unintended edits. Once a declaration is submitted or approved, it becomes locked and suppliers can no longer modify it. When updates are needed, you can request a revision, allowing controlled edits only to the specific declaration you open.

Key Benefits

• Strong Data Integrity: Submitted or approved declarations are automatically locked, preventing any supplier edits to data already used for compliance or reporting.
• Clear Auditability: Locking and revision controls ensure stable, traceable records with clear visibility into when and why changes occur.
• Controlled Updates Through Revisions: Brands can open a declaration for revision, allowing suppliers to update only that item without affecting other data.
• Reduced Rework: Locking prevents late edits that cause re-approvals or inconsistencies, minimizing operational effort.
• Improved Supplier Clarity: UI indicators and messages clearly show when a declaration is locked or open for revision, reducing confusion and ensuring smooth collaboration.

This enhancement strengthens data reliability by keeping declarations secure and consistent while still supporting controlled updates when needed.
