Functional Workflow
- Initiation: A Supply Request is finalized, prompting the creation of a corresponding Supply Delivery with the stage set to "dispatched."
- Dispatch: Items are deducted from the inventory of the origin location upon dispatch.
- Receipt: Upon arrival, the destination location verifies the quantity and condition of the items.
- Inventory Update: If accepted, items are added to the destination's inventory.
- Discrepancy Handling: If discrepancies or damages are noted, the delivery may be rejected, prompting a return to the origin and the creation of a new Supply Delivery.
- Audit Trail: All status changes and actions are recorded in the status history for auditing purposes.
