Prepare the location and stock request

Agree the item, location and base-unit quantity before sending stock work for review.

Step by step

  1. Confirm the operating context App Administrator or Inventory Clerk

    App Administrator checks the organization and team membership. Inventory Clerk identifies the location code and eligibility note that apply to the physical work.

    • Establish organization and physical location
    • Updates Organizations, Team members, Storage locations
  2. Check the item Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk confirms the item identity, tracking mode and base unit. Agree how source paperwork quantities relate to that base unit before creating the request.

    • Confirm identity and base unit
    • Updates Stock items
  3. Prepare the draft Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk records a request number and subject, the item and location references, requested quantity and required-by date. Assign an owner who will answer review questions.

    • Record assigned Draft scope
    • Updates Stock requests
  4. Attach the evidence Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk links the relevant inspection document, photo or manifest to the request. Use a clear title and attachment type so the supervisor can locate the supporting material.

    • Link supporting documents to the request
    • Updates Record attachments
  5. Present the scope Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk checks the current revision and gives the Inventory Supervisor a request that can be understood from its saved details. Prepare a linked slotting plan where the work needs a zone and capacity decision.

    • Prepare current scope for review
    • Updates Stock requests, Slotting plans

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Ambiguous location codes. Reconcile the saved location with the floor label before the supervisor approves the work.
  • Mixed units. A quantity needs the item's base-unit meaning. Resolve a source document expressed in packs before entering individual units.
  • Unclear ownership. The request owner should know who will answer a returned decision and when the work is required.
