Administration guidance
Simulate a procurement policy
Test proposed control behavior without writing live transaction states.
- FOR
- Organisation administrator, Procurement, Auditor
- OUTCOME
- Use RAQOZ to test proposed control behavior without writing live transaction states.
Before you begin
- Organisation administrator access, or another role explicitly permitted for the setting.
- The organisation has agreed the control or operating decision before configuration.
Guidance
- 1
Select the draft policy and representative purchase scenarios.
- 2
Run the no-write simulation and review which rules would pass, observe or block.
- 3
Investigate unexpected results and adjust the draft, not historical transactions.
- 4
Retain the simulation result as review evidence before activation.
Evidence RAQOZ retains
- Draft policy reference
- Simulation inputs and outputs
- Reviewer decision before activation
Common issues
A configuration change behaves differently than expected.
Review scope, effective date, inheritance and status. Use a representative test or no-write simulation before activating a policy change.
A prior transaction appears to use an older rule.
That may be correct. Effective-dated versions preserve the policy context used at the time instead of rewriting history.
