What happens if I authorize production with open protections?
Factory Bouncer · 15 years Jinjiang · Updated May 2026
You start cut while material, sample, plant, or pack is still unproven. Fix cost jumps from a photo ask to a full rebuild, lost deposit, and wholesale rejection risk.
Checklist
- Authorize with open protections and the plant can cut the wrong inputs.
- Deposit is harder to hold once scissors move.
- Rebuild and dead stock sit on top of the original PO.
- Release open tracks with factory proof before you clear the run to start.
How Factory Bouncer does it
In Factory Bouncer: open the authorize-now view against the same board numbers. Hold deposit and secure the open protections first so production starts only after baseline and factory match.
