# Approved Record Change Control

[Oğuz Erol](https://oguzerol.com/en/about-me/)  |  2 min read

A draft quote can remain editable until approval, then selected values can be protected.

## How the Approved Record Change Control can work

If a correction is needed, the application can require an authorised action and preserve what changed and why. I can tailor which fields close at each stage, because a status alone does not solve every business rule.

Locking rows in Excel and protecting ranges in Google Sheets can help. To capture the reason for a post-approval change and retain the prior version, the app can provide a dedicated correction path.

As Oğuz Erol, I develop custom web apps for this workflow. After reviewing approval and correction rules, I aim to prepare an initial working flow quickly; the quote process defines the scope.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can an approved quote ever be changed?

An authorised correction path can be provided and the earlier values can be retained where the process requires it.

### Can we require a reason for a correction?

Yes. Selected stages can require an explanation that appears in the review history.

WHAT YOU CAN ASK FOR

## How do I work?
Work-hour packages

Tell me about your business and what you need on WhatsApp or by phone; we agree on **a work block of somewhere between 5 and 40 hours** and I start doing what is needed. What you get is not a calendar window — it is net working hours spent directly on your business. I can use 40 hours working three days straight, or deliberately spread it out and finish it over a year — whatever the work calls for. I do not spend my time estimating how long something will take, I spend it doing the work; every hour I spend leaves a lasting result in your business. We keep going for as long as you find it useful.

WORK BLOCKS

## Why not monthly?
Is 40 hours a week?

On a fixed monthly fee both sides are watching the wrong thing: you watch a fixed cost, the other side watches how many more contracts like this they can line up. Working by the hour puts us both in front of the same thing — the real value of the work that got done. I know not having an upfront answer to "how much will this cost in total?" is the natural cost of this model. But instead of paying a fixed fee for months to a setup that is not producing results, you only pay for the qualified time spent on your work — and you see exactly where that time went, start to finish. That is why my clients keep coming back.
