How It Works
From setup to rollout
A warehouse or inventory user records the item, affected quantity, location, issue type, and initial evidence as soon as the stock problem is found.
Reviewers investigate the cause, confirm impact, and decide whether the issue needs recount, return, write-off, or further escalation.
Owners update the record as corrective actions are assigned, completed, or still blocked so unresolved issues remain visible.
Resolved issue records stay searchable for audits, recurring problem analysis, and future stock-control review.
