Guardrails
Guardrails
Open Settings → Business → Guardrails. Guardrails tell Twelfth when commercial work needs more review. They are shared: a range proposal, a price move and a buy all pass the same floor and the same authority limit, whichever capability raised the finding behind them.
Agree these with the people responsible for commercial policy before changing them. Owners and admins can edit them.
| Control | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Category GP floor | Enter the lowest acceptable gross-profit percentage. New lines below it are held for review rather than moving ahead as normal. |
| Authority limit | Enter the largest value that can be approved at this level. Decisions above it are sent to a manager for sign-off. |
| Strategic vendors | Keep this on to limit changes to strategic-vendor settings to authorised operators. Turn it off only when your workspace policy allows broader access. |
Warning
Changing a guardrail changes who is asked to review commercial work. Confirm the policy and the decision owner first.
Where a guardrail shows up
- A price change that would take a line below the GP floor, or above the authority limit, is held for review or sent for sign-off.
- A purchase order above the authority limit waits for a manager.
- The gate on a project reads the same limit when it decides whether an order is ready to raise.
