Complete the workflow in Perfour
Create the record, request submission or send it for approval, receive a formal response, correct it through a new revision when needed, and close or void it with a reason. Each resubmission creates a revision without erasing the prior one.

Review relationships and traceability
The submittal can link drawings and files and provide context to quality, RFIs and schedule. The approved revision becomes the reference for procurement and execution.
