Click Get started, then use Proto to configure SCM for 3PL for your business. Start with one client organization, active item, storage location and stock request; rehearse review and physical issue before widening the scope.
The Coordinator prepares the request and assigns an owner. The Inventory Reviewer records the decision against the current revision. The Warehouse Operator confirms physical issue after approval.
Compare posted signed movements with active reservations for the exact item, location and lot. Lot release and expiry evidence guide eligibility.
A reservation claims eligible free quantity. The posted stock movement records the physical quantity change when the issue is confirmed.
Each tracked lot carries a code, expiry date, release state and owner reference. The team checks those details before reserving it.
The operation receipt keeps a stable key, expected revision, result state and linked effects. The team checks that receipt before repeating an uncertain action.
A correction uses a compensating movement linked to the original, which remains available for reconciliation.
The Billing Specialist submits a statement against a parent request. The Inventory Reviewer checks its revision and evidence, then approves, rejects or returns it with a reason.
It brings scoped stock position, pending review decisions, failed operations, movement and availability charts and an exception queue into the primary work screen.
Choose the authoritative source and reference mapping during setup. Reconcile a statement or operation receipt with that connected system when its confirmation is required.
Start free, then use Proto to change fields, steps and approvals before your team goes live.
