System Defaults
System defaults provide the baseline values that new records and workflows inherit unless a rule or user action changes them.
Where defaults matter most
- New orders
- Purchase orders
- Shipping and warehouse assignment
- User and notification setup
Good default management
- Keep defaults simple and well documented
- Review them after adding new locations or channels
- Track when operators override them often
- Change them carefully during peak operations
Final check
- Make one change at a time
- Test the downstream effect
- Communicate visible behavior changes to users
