The working location

The header shows Working at and a location. It limits every operational screen. Read screens also offer All my locations. A link with ?at=CODE switches the location.

The Today page

The page opens with one sentence, for example "2 critical alerts, 3 items to order today and 1 approval need you." When nothing is urgent it says "Nothing urgent. Everything is on track."

  • Header buttons: the stock actions you may do here. A location that holds no stock shows "No stock work here".
  • Key figures: Approvals waiting, Critical alerts, Below reorder, Expired lots, Inbound in transit (with an "N late" chip), and Open counts (the stock is frozen).
  • Cells: Act now, shipments by stage, items by supply status, approvals, items that run out within 14 days, network health, needs attention, and recent activity. Each cell loads alone. A failure shows only in that cell.

The scan box

The scan box in the header finds a storage area (shown as CODE › A-01), an item, a lot, or a serial number within the locations you can see. Press / to focus it.

Shortcuts

Hold G and press: D Today, S On hand, C Custody, L Ledger, T Items, M Map, O Shipments, P Act now, B Board, R Resupply orders, F Plan ahead, U Status reports.

Numbers you see

Transactions look like PUN-CD · TX-000123 (location code and number). Counts use CNT-, reports RPT-, and resupply orders RSO-.

Access rule

Every operational role must include inventory.read. Without it at a location, shipment actions are blocked there.
