[FEATURE REQUEST] - Approval/Confirmation before product destruction

I’m requesting an enhancement in Cin7 Core that introduces an approval or confirmation step before finalizing the status of a product as “Destroyed.” This feature would create a “Pending Destruction” status that requires designated user(s) to confirm or reject the destruction request. Here’s what I envision:

1. Pending Destruction Status
   • A temporary status for products flagged for write-off but not yet removed from inventory.
   • Prevents immediate destruction until an authorized user reviews the request.
2. Approval Workflow
   • Configurable user permissions to determine who can approve or reject destruction requests.
   • Automatic notifications to assigned approvers when a product is placed in “Pending Destruction.”
3. Audit Trail
   • Log the date, time, and user for each approval or rejection.
   • Include optional comments explaining the reason for approval or rejection.
4. Final Destruction
   • Once approved, the product is officially marked “Destroyed,” automatically updating stock levels and relevant records.
   • If rejected, the product reverts to a non-destructed state (e.g., “Active” or “Quarantine”).

Why It Matters

• Better Accountability: Ensures only authorized personnel can finalize write-offs, reducing errors and unauthorized adjustments.
• Auditing & Compliance: Maintains a clear record of who approved the destruction, meeting internal and external audit requirements.
• Risk Reduction: Protects against accidental or malicious inventory reductions, preserving stock accuracy.

Thank you for considering this request! Having a built-in approval flow for product destruction would significantly improve transparency, security, and accountability.
