Shared storage operators
A storage operator may serve several food programs from active locations under an organization. The location directory records codes, contacts, addresses and eligibility notes. Items and lots identify the food, while reservations and movements show whether stock is merely claimed or has actually moved. That distinction helps a shared site answer competing requests without spending the same stock twice.
How Food Bank Management is set up for you
Location control
Use active storage locations and their organization references when preparing requests and stock operations.
Lot selection
Check the lot's release state and expiry at reservation and again when posting an issue.
Movement history
Keep signed posted lines linked to their source request, item, location and optional lot.
Correction evidence
Link a bounded reversal to the original movement rather than editing a posted historical effect.
A storage operator may serve several food programs from active locations under an organization. The location directory records codes, contacts, addresses and eligibility notes. Items and lots identify the food, while reservations and movements show whether stock is merely claimed or has actually moved. That distinction helps a shared site answer competing requests without spending the same stock twice.
Start with one location, one coordinator and a few active items. Enter released and quarantined lots for the same item to test eligibility. Prepare two requests that compete for a limited quantity; compare active reservations before either is issued. Post one evidenced movement and check the corresponding operation receipt. Leave a second receipt pending to rehearse how the reviewer finds the earlier effect without posting again.
Agree who can mark a location inactive and how old movement records remain accessible afterward. Decide how to document dispatch and receipt when food moves between sites. If the receiving site uses a separate system, name the acknowledgment it returns and the person who reconciles it with the local operation receipt.
