Wms Inbound Operations

Purpose

The warehouse-inventory-mapping skill handles COUNTING what's already there. This skill handles GETTING THINGS IN: purchase orders, container receiving, quality inspection, and putting materials in the right location.

When to Use

• Building PO management or purchase order features
• Creating receiving/check-in workflows
• Designing putaway rules (where does this go?)
• Dock scheduling for inbound containers
• Quality inspection on receipt
• Vendor shipment tracking
• Any feature about "stuff arriving at the warehouse"
