#About AFEs

Authorization For Expenditure — cost estimates partners approve before spend. This is a working page: a list or workspace where you find and act on records in BSuit ERP (Oil Gas). It is used by staff (internal users). What you can see and do depends on your role and permissions.

#How to open it

In BSuit ERP, open Oil Gas and choose “AFEs”, or go directly to the address /oil-gas/afes.

#What you can do here

These controls are present in the page’s implementation. Whether you see a given one also depends on your permissions and on the data shown.

  1. Add new records — a form opens for the details.
  2. Change existing records.
  3. Submit, approve or reject through a workflow.
  4. Search within the page.
  5. Work across tabs.
  6. Open dialogs or drawers for detail and confirmation.
  7. Some controls depend on your permissions.

#Fields

When you enter or change an afes, these fields are on the form. Required fields must be completed before you can save.

#Who can do this

Super Admin and other superuser accounts can always see and do everything, regardless of this list. For everyone else, these are the standard roles that have been granted a permission here in this system’s current setup — an organisation can add, remove or customise roles and their permissions, so treat this as an example, not a guarantee.

#If something is missing or fails

  1. No data: confirm the company or context selected in the top bar, and any filters or date range in use.
  2. An action is hidden or disabled: it usually needs a permission your role does not have. Ask an administrator to check your effective access.
  3. An error message appears: note the message, the page address and what you were doing, and contact support with those details (never include passwords).
