OPERATIONS REVIEW · Workflow idea

Find stock mismatches while keeping the source of each count clear.

For work involving item counts and stock discrepancies across approved inventory records, use this review to check the evidence before action. Compare selected inventory records and prepare a discrepancy list for a stock owner to investigate. Counts can be delayed, refer to different units, or represent different locations. Verify item identity, units, timestamps, and adjustment history, restrict operational and supplier details, and require an authorized owner to approve corrections, transfers, or replenishment orders.
