Keep missing, repeated and unexpected separate

A repeat does not count twice, and 17 never satisfies 000017.

Keep missing, repeated and unexpected separate

  1. Start a manifest check

    Start a manifest check.

    Check distinct IDs against a reviewed local list. This synthetic lesson never confirms physical contents or despatch.

  2. Choose the prepared manifest

    Choose the prepared manifest.

    The prepared CSV enters the real file input. Each listed carton has its own exact ID; this is not a quantity list.

  3. Map the exact ID column

    Map the exact ID column.

    Choose Label for the carton IDs. Leading zeroes remain significant.

  4. Map the descriptions

    Map the descriptions.

    Choose Text for the description. The Ignore column stays outside the retained snapshot.

  5. Name the manifest snapshot

    Name the manifest snapshot.

    Give this reviewed snapshot a recognisable name. A name and date are local context, not verified authority.

  6. Declare the list date

    Declare the list date.

    This declared source date does not prove that a manifest is current.

  7. Confirm distinct physical IDs

    Confirm distinct physical IDs.

    Confirm that every row is a distinct carton, pallet or serial ID, never a repeated SKU representing a quantity.

  8. Load the reviewed manifest

    Load the reviewed manifest.

    The real reader validates three unique IDs and keeps only the mapped columns. A pallet ID never implies its child cartons were checked.

  9. Record the first listed ID

    Record the first listed ID.

    The exact listed ID counts once. This keyboard submission is a local observation, not proof that goods were loaded.

  10. Keep a repeated scan visible

    Keep a repeated scan visible.

    A repeated ID does not satisfy another listed carton. The observation stays in history as Already seen.

  11. Keep 17 separate from 000017

    Keep 17 separate from 000017.

    The value 17 is not the listed 000017. Unexpected IDs satisfy no listed carton and remain separate from missing IDs.

  12. Review coverage and exceptions

    Review coverage and exceptions.

    Review missing, unexpected and repeated observations independently before finishing or exporting.

  13. Inspect each missing ID

    Inspect each missing ID.

    The remaining expected IDs are listed explicitly. An unexpected scan cannot satisfy them.

  14. Freeze the local summary

    Freeze the local summary.

    Finishing freezes the current coverage and exceptions. It does not approve a load, confirm carton contents or book despatch.
