Bus/Financial - Management / quality control system
English term or phrase: sign off
"Autonomous Production Units sign off work instructions from operators." This instruction is a part of the final phase of quality control system implementation. I suppose that "sign off" means here "to approve by a signature" more likely than "to cancel". Is it right?
