Review and complete a slotting plan

Compare zone capacity, decide the submitted plan and coordinate approved stock work.

Step by step

  1. Prepare the placement Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk creates a Draft plan under the stock request with its zone, planned date, capacity and required cubic feet. Include the allocation rule, priority and safety stock context.

    • Record Draft capacity and policy context
    • Updates Slotting plans, Stock requests
  2. Submit the revision Inventory Clerk

    Inventory Clerk submits the plan through the slotting action. Draft moves to Submitted and the revision increases, identifying the proposal the supervisor must assess.

    • Move Draft to Submitted
    • Updates Slotting plans
  3. Decide the plan Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor reviews the submitted revision independently of its creator. Submitted moves to Approved or Rejected, retaining the decision date and increasing the revision.

    • Approve or reject the submitted revision
    • Updates Slotting plans
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  4. Authorize the request Inventory Supervisor

    Inventory Supervisor uses the stock review action for the selected request and records the decision and rationale. Approved scope proceeds to stock execution; returned or escalated work needs follow-up. Stale and already executed requests are refused.

    • Record request decision and authorized scope
    • Updates Stock requests, Review decisions, Operation receipts
    ApprovalA person approves before the work moves on.
  5. Complete the placement plan Inventory Clerk

    After coordinating the physical work and stock posting, Inventory Clerk requests completion of the Approved plan. The plan moves to Completed with a fresh revision. Inspect the stock effect separately in the movement ledger.

    • Complete plan and inspect stock evidence
    • Updates Slotting plans, Stock movements

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Inconsistent measurements. Agree what the capacity and required-space figures include before comparing them.
  • Overlapping proposals. Review plans for the same zone together so the same capacity is not counted repeatedly.
  • Confused outcomes. A plan decision and a stock posting are separate actions. Check the request and movement before concluding that inventory changed.
