🧾 Issue

After migrating to a newer version of Workflow Modules Modern, users have reported that the "Add / Delete" button for attachments disappears once a document has been fully approved and exported to MIP for payment.

While the removal of the Delete option is intentional to preserve audit trails post-approval, many organizations—especially those needing to attach copies of a check or other related changes or justifications—still require the ability to add new attachments after export.

🔍 Cause

To protect document integrity, Microix disables the “Add / Delete” attachment functionality by default once a document is fully approved. However, a system-level configuration (GSID 903) controls whether adding attachments remains allowed post-transfer.

✅ Solution: Enable Adding Attachments Post Transfer

To restore the ability to add attachments (while still preventing deletions), follow these steps:

🔧 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Navigate to:
   Maintenance > Global Setting

2. In the search bar, enter:
   "adding attachments"

3. When the setting appears, toggle the value to ON.

4. Save and exit the Global Settings module.

✅ Result: Users will now be able to add new attachments to documents even after they've been exported to MIP, while the delete function remains disabled to maintain audit integrity.

NOTE Related to Deleting attachments:

Attachment deletion does not have a separate permission setting. While a document is in process, only the user responsible for the document at its current approval level can add or delete attachments.

For example:

• If the document is at Level 0, the requester can add or delete attachments.
• If the document is at Level 4, only the Level 4 approver can add or delete attachments.
• Other users cannot add or delete attachments while the document is at that approval level.
