What controls what you see
Permissions
Pages need a view permission to appear. Create, edit, delete, and special actions need matching permissions. Missing buttons usually mean your role lacks that permission. Some routes show a Not authorized screen instead of redirecting.
Modules
Missing a required module shows a plan upsell screen rather than the page.
| Module | Areas |
|---|---|
| Purchasing | Suppliers, Purchases |
| Production | Production, Production History |
| Delivery | Delivery, Runs |
| Portal | Settings → Portal |
| Inventory | Stock History |
Offline mode
Only Dashboard, Products, Customers, and Sales stay available offline (plus product/customer view and sales view/create/edit). Other nav items hide. Child links under Products are also hidden offline even though Products itself stays open.
Phone
Create and edit forms for most entities redirect back to the list on phone (ReadOnly wrapper). Preview of safety forms is an exception and works on mobile.
