What each level must prove
Mid-level
Owns the configuration of pricing, shipping and billing for a sales area, so orders flow to invoice without manual fixes.
You now change configuration, not only use it: new pricing conditions, delivery and billing types, and the determinations that connect them. You handle change requests from the business and diagnose why a price, shipping point or billing document came out wrong. What changes from junior is that you are trusted to alter the setup.
