Tip |
---|
Your MetaField business administrator controls which fields allow Draft values to be added. You may experience situations where, for example, you are not allowed to enter Draft values for Supplier and Plant, but you are allowed to enter a draft value for Mix Design because of the unpredictable nature and quantity of mix designs a supplier produces. |
