## How to Disable Bill Locking for Supervisor?

In this tutorial, we will explain how to **exclude supervisors (or admin users)** from the **bill locking mechanism** in Logic ERP. By default, **bill locking rules** apply to all users, including administrators and supervisors. However, this behavior can be modified through system settings.

***

### **Default Behavior**

When **party-wise** or **series-wise bill locking** is implemented, it affects:

* All users across the system.
* Even admin or supervisor-level users are restricted.

* Click **Save** and **Restart the software** for the change to take effect.

***

### **Behavior After Enabling the Option**

**Supervisor/Admin Users:**

* Bill locking will **not apply**.
* They can **create, modify, or bypass restrictions** even if party-wise or series-wise locks are configured.

**Other Users:**

* Bill locking will remain **active and enforced** as per the defined rules.

***

### **Types of Bills Locking Mechanisms**

* **Party-Wise Billing Locks**
  * Restrict billing for specific parties.
* **Party-Wise Discount Locks**
  * Prevent users from overriding discounts for specific parties.

**To View or Configure:**

* Navigate to the **Entry Mode** settings.

* Example: If a **series-wise lock** is set, a user cannot create a **sale bill** for a specific party under the locked series.

### **Result Summary**

| User Type        | Bill Locking Behavior             |
| ---------------- | --------------------------------- |
| Supervisor/Admin | Not affected (free to edit bills) |
| Regular Users    | Locking enforced as configured    |

***

### **Recommendation**

Use this feature when:

* Supervisors require **override permissions** for operational flexibility.
* Admins need to manage exceptions without reconfiguring locks for every case.
