Example: prepare an inventory exception for review.

Business context

The warehouse team spends time assembling evidence when reported stock differs from the expected position. The first workflow should help an operator investigate a discrepancy; it should preserve the distinction between a recorded quantity and a verified physical count.

Defined behavior

When an authorized operator selects an exception, collect the item and location identifiers, relevant movement records and the reported count. Prepare a chronology and list any missing references. Keep units of measure visible and identify the source and time of each quantity.

Review and exception handling

The inventory owner checks the evidence and decides whether another count, document correction or approved adjustment is required. If item or location identity is uncertain, the workflow returns a clarification task. It does not alter stock while the discrepancy is unresolved.

Acceptance example

Given a report using a different unit from the item record, the review packet must show the difference and ask for confirmation. It must not silently convert quantities using an unverified factor.

Useful evaluation

Compare investigation time, missing-reference detection and wrong-item matches against completed manual cases. Include the operator's correction effort in the result.
