Open Questions

Decisions that needed sign-off before the corresponding feature was finalised (from Docs/03-open-questions.md). Some have since been answered by the shipped product — annotated below. Update as they resolve.

#	Question	Status / shipped answer
1	Should a manager be able to directly edit a PO (bypass the submitter edit cycle)?	Effectively yes — managers edit line items inline before approving (MANAGER_LINE_EDIT audit); MANAGER can also create/submit.
2	Dual sign-off for POs above a value threshold?	Open — single approver today.
3	Is the vendor registry Admin-only, or can Managers also add/edit?	Resolved — manage_vendors is held by Manager, Accounts, and Admin; submitters can add unverified vendors.
4	Is SSO required, or is internal credential management enough?	Resolved — both: Microsoft Entra SSO and a credentials provider; SSO users have nullable passwords.
5	What currency/currencies? Multi-currency with FX in scope?	Partly — currency defaults to INR; multi-currency/FX not implemented.
6	Hard-delete vs permanent archive for rejected POs; retention window?	Open.
7	Public document URLs vs always-signed/authenticated downloads?	Resolved — downloads are auth-gated/presigned (dev route 404s in prod). See File Storage.
8	Row-level vessel/account restrictions per submitter?	Open — any submitter can raise a PO against any cost centre.
9	Expected volume (POs/day, concurrent users) — for pool sizing / pms1 resourcing?	Open.
10	Should manager analytics count only CLOSED POs, or all from MGR_APPROVED onwards?	Resolved — "Approved this month" counts by approvedAt (all POs approved in the period), not just those currently in MGR_APPROVED. See Changelog.

For the design-era spec context, see Docs/01-design-document.md and Docs/DESIGN.md.
