Quick reference, privacy, and frequently asked questions

This reference summarizes availability, permissions, limits, and vocabulary. Use it when an option is missing or you need to confirm which feature belongs to each mode.

Availability: public content for all users; every listed feature retains its own requirements. Level: Reference, basic to advanced.

Purpose

It helps locate a feature quickly, distinguish Professional from Company, and identify a missing mode, permission, configuration, relationship, or valid state.

General requirements

An account with verified email and one active membership for operations.
An active organization and internet connection.
Role permission, record access, and a compatible state for each action.

Owners and administrators receive broad authority, but Sales remains limited to them. Inventory, assets, commercial, network, delegation, and shared-work permissions are independent.

How to use this reference

Confirm whether the organization is Professional or Company.
Review your role under My profile.
Check prerequisites such as catalogs, customer, warehouse, template, connection, or agreement.
Review the current status of the report, request, order, or document.
If another person changed the record, reload before retrying the action.

Privacy rules and effects

Each organization keeps its reports, customers, inventory, and documents separate.
There is no global customer, provider, or Company directory.
Internal notes and private attachments are never published automatically.
Treat a public link as a secret: anyone holding it can view its projection until expiration or revocation.
Public tracking shows the live report status and only published updates and attachments.
An assignment portal shows only selected categories.
Shared work shows a published projection, not conversation, inventory, assignee, or commercial data.
The B2B network is direct and non-transitive: each Company knows only its neighbor.
Deactivation, termination, and archival preserve history instead of deleting it.

Required and optional choices

Always required: verified identity, active organization, authorization, and minimum data marked on each form. Optional: installing the app, enabling notifications, using customers and assets, enabling signatures, publishing tracking, advanced inventory, or Company collaboration.

Frequently asked questions

Can I start with reports only?

Yes. Professional provides the most direct journey for one person. Customers, assets, inventory, orders, and Sales can be added later.

Can I belong to several organizations and switch between them?

No. An account has one active membership. It must end before creating or accepting another organization.

Why is a section or button missing?

It may depend on mode, role, permission, record state, assignment, or prior setup. Navigation hides unavailable modules, and every action validates its conditions again.

Does a customer need an account?

No. Customer is a local record. An account and Company are needed only for linking or Shared work participation.

Can a Professional organization be linked as a Related company?

Not while it remains in Professional mode. It must move to Company before it can be proposed as the registered counterpart. Responding to an assignment through its portal link is independent and neither changes the mode nor creates that link.

Can a customer see conversations or internal notes?

No. Portals and shared views expose only their projections. Always review which data and attachments you publish.

Does approving a request reserve or deduct stock?

No. Approval authorizes; delivery deducts. A manager may deliver directly from Pending.

Does delivering a part mean installing it?

No. Delivery marks it issued; installation or replacement is recorded later without deducting stock again.

Can a report have several orders?

No. Each report supports one order, while an order may include several equipment units.

Does quote approval create a sale or stock movement?

No. The decision is commercial evidence. Documents, payments, and inventory are recorded separately.

Are Sales documents fiscal invoices?

No. They are non-fiscal documents and do not replace issuance authorized by the relevant authority.

Can I apply a payment in another currency?

No. Invoice, payment, and credit must match both customer and currency; ReportArea does not convert currencies.

Why can I not resolve an assigned or handed-off report?

An active assignment or handoff protects external coordination. It must first be completed, canceled, or closed through its own flow.

Is a B2B connection enough to hand off work?

No. A regular handoff needs an active offering and directional agreement. A converted assignment is a different one-off authorization.

How do I onboard a provider that is not registered?

Create a Provider Related company, use an assignment portal, and send a linking invitation. The recipient can create a Company from that journey.

Why does the map show No group or few connections?

Connections depend on members, primary groups, roles, and routes. There is currently no public group-membership interface, so this setup may remain incomplete.

Can I restore an archived organization?

There is no public restoration. Archival ends access and work under its rules while preserving history.

Does the installed app work without internet?

No. It may show an offline page, but it never stores forms, messages, or attachments for later synchronization.

Reference example

A user cannot see Sales even though they manage customers. The matrix shows that commercial permission covers customers, orders, quotes, and warranties, but Sales requires owner or administrator. The record is not broken and no customer data must change.

General limits

There is no offline work, currency conversion, fiscal integration, inventory valuation, barcode scanning, or QR scanning.
There is no public quote-approval portal or customer login for public tracking.
There is no visual group-membership management, administrator member removal, or complete alternative-chain configuration.
There is no global directory, provider recommendation, or visibility of indirect relationships.
There is no public restoration of archived organizations or later public editing of their names.
Some advanced surfaces still contain Spanish text even when the organization uses English.
