- Supplier completion can create a Pending supplier invoice when one does not already exist.
- Verify linked CRM invoice/payment records before changing a real-estate payment or payout status.
- The module hooks after_payment_added to write property-related activity when the payment is linked.
How to confirm it worked
- The supported understand automatic maintenance-job creation flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
- The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
- Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Apply least privilege to purchasing, vendor, invoice, payment, return, contract and report permissions.
- Verify vendor identity, bank/payment details, tax, currency, totals and approvals before creating financial commitments.
- Treat public links, signatures, portal files, attachments and exported reports as controlled business records.
- Test settings and automated jobs with controlled records before production-wide use.
