Type a put-away rule in plain English, answer the AI's question about the missing detail, inspect the complete proposed rule and save it deliberately as a draft.

## Plain English to a checked draft

1. **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).

2. **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.

3. **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.

4. **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.

5. **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.

6. **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.

7. **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.

8. **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.

9. **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.

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.

11. **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.

12. **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.

13. **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).

14. **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.

15. **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.
