Plain English to a checked draft
- Load the current StoresFlow draft
Load the current StoresFlow draft
Load the assembly stores policy from StoresFlow. It has no put-away rules yet, so every receipt is put away to the default bin, Assembly fasteners (R-01).
- Choose Create a complete rule
Choose Create a complete rule
Choose Create a complete rule. A rule says when it applies and what StoresFlow decides.
- Choose the putaway stage
Choose the putaway stage
Choose putaway. A put-away rule chooses the bin StoresFlow suggests for received stock; a person still scans the bin and the item.
- Read the first approved-resource page
Read the first approved-resource page
Use the first page of approved locations. StoresFlow still checks every location a rule chooses.
- Load the put-away rule controls
Load the put-away rule controls
Load the controls for a new put-away rule. This reads StoresFlow and does not save anything.
- Choose Putaway rule
Choose Putaway rule
Choose Putaway rule under Change to describe, so the proposal covers both when the rule applies and the bin it chooses.
- Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement in plain English
Type the requirement as the stores team wrote it: put away known adhesive in the approved adhesive bin.
- Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal
Ask for a proposal. The AI replies with a question instead of guessing: every rule needs a precedence, and the requirement does not give one.
- Add the precedence the AI asked for
Add the precedence the AI asked for
Keep the requirement and answer the question: give the rule precedence 10.
- Ask for the complete proposal
Ask for the complete proposal
Ask again. The AI now returns a complete put-away rule. Nothing is saved until you choose to save it.
- Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement of the rule
Read the restatement. It says in plain words when the rule applies: the item family is ADHESIVE and the family is known.
- Inspect the proposed condition
Inspect the proposed condition
Inspect the condition in the same controls StoresFlow uses: the item family is ADHESIVE, and the item family is known.
- Check the precedence and bin
Check the precedence and bin
Read what the rule will save, field by field: precedence 10 and the approved put-away location Adhesive cabinet (R-02).
- Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm you checked the whole proposal
Confirm that you checked the condition and every value. StoresFlow still validates the whole policy when it saves.
- Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft
Save the proposal as a draft. The policy moves to revision 2. Saving does not approve, release or apply the rule: the expected results, proof and an independent review come next.
Only a draft was saved. The expected results, the native proof and an independent review come next.
