Handbooks: RefillFlow

Match roles, queue membership and approval authority

Check required role combinations, physical setup and the distinct authentication rules for each workflow.

Review edition · 25 October 2026 · For Owner, Author, Reviewer, Supervisor, Stores, Operator, Viewer

On this page

RefillFlow does not treat Supervisor as a replacement for every floor or stores role. In this reference, or offers alternative roles. And requires every named part of the combination. Current Accounts access, local assignment, site admission and the current record still govern the action.

Configuration and release

Task Who Additional conditions Related guide
Draft items, receiving locations, queues, loops, containers or reference imports Author Exact codes and whole quantities; adoption does not enable containers or release changed rules. Reference data
Draft rules and expected examples, save the release draft or prove it Author or Reviewer Current saved content and configuration. Proof is not activation. Rules and releases
Configure the working calendar Owner or Author Correct timezone, shifts and closures; release evidence retains the relevant calendar basis. Calendar and tasks
Enable supplying queues Owner On Stores queues, with the applicable plan allowance. Enable the intended queues before proof; the release's default queue must be enabled for activation. Setup and activation
Release rules or roll back Reviewer Recent Accounts verification. Current candidate, proof, draft and configuration must agree. Local contributor restrictions and additional Automation independent reviews apply where configured. Rules and releases
Enable loops and record container opening conditions Owner On Physical activation after the reviewed release includes the loop. Check readiness, capacity and the actual container. Setup and activation
Resolve an unresolved opening condition Owner or Supervisor Record the condition actually established and what was reconciled. An ordinary cycle-hold release is not this action. Setup and activation
Manage queue membership, stations, printers or site review settings Owner Current administrative authority and the specific screen's verification checks. Membership grants no Stores role by itself. Owner guide

An Owner doing authoring needs Author as well. A Supervisor who drafts reference data also needs Author. A Reviewer who operates on the floor needs Operator. Adding a role does not remove the independence conditions of the particular release or urgency intent.

Floor, stores and exceptions

Task Who Additional conditions Related guide
Request a refill or record ordinary receipt at the line Operator Active floor-station authority and current container, cycle, ticket and location evidence appropriate to the action. Supervisor or Stores alone is insufficient. Request a refill
Approve an urgency intent Supervisor The approver must differ from the requester. Second-factor evidence is recorded; this approval does not impose the separate recent-verification challenge used by release. The Operator confirms the exact intent afterwards. Request a refill
Accept a cycle, pick or dispatch Stores and current membership of its queue Supervisor alone is insufficient. A Supervisor needs Stores as well and still needs queue membership. Dispatch records the whole unresolved selected leg. Accept, pick and dispatch
Record material physically returned to stores Stores within the current queue, or Supervisor Record only the actual returned unresolved leg quantity and reason. Supervisor is the exception role across queues. Holds and shortages
Mark, change or clear an ordinary shortage Stores within the current queue, or Supervisor A responsible person, reason and current follow-up where required. This changes no received quantity or target. Holds and shortages
Receive through missing-dispatch-ticket lookup Operator and either Stores or Supervisor Active floor station, exact container and location, selected in-transit leg and a reason of at least ten characters. Operator alone cannot use the lookup. Receive deliveries
Hold a cycle, release its hold, cancel or accept short closure Supervisor Current state and a reason. Cancellation and short closure require no active cycle hold. Cancellation needs no receipt or unresolved material; short closure needs positive partial receipt below target and no unresolved legs. Holds and shortages
Reroute before picking or dispute a terminal cycle Supervisor Recorded second-factor evidence and exact current state. Rerouting needs an enabled allowed queue and no picked leg or hold. These actions do not impose card replacement's fresh-check rule. Routing and disputes
Replace a lost or damaged container card Supervisor Recent Accounts verification and a reason. Owner's ability to issue cards is not this replacement decision. Tickets and cards

A cycle hold prevents new picking and dispatch, but authorised users can still account for material already moved. Operator is still required for floor receipt; the hold does not let a Supervisor without Operator receive it. Likewise, Supervisor permission to record a return does not grant Stores acceptance or picking.

Reading, exports and authentication

Task Who Additional conditions Related guide
Read Stores board Supervisor, Stores or Viewer Stores-only visibility follows current queues. Reading a cycle gives no fulfilment permission. Stores guide
Read operational History and Reports Author, Reviewer, Supervisor, Stores or Viewer Stores-only scope remains restricted to its queues. Owner alone does not gain these operational pages. History and exports
Prepare filtered operational export Supervisor, Stores or Viewer Stores scope is limited to current queues. History and exports
Prepare complete site export Owner or Supervisor Recent verification. This Owner exception does not grant Stores board or floor actions. History and exports
Perform administrative restore review or closure Owner Current verification and the exact outstanding-work/recovery checks; individual refill actions and unresolved original outcomes remain separate. Recovery and closure

Recent verification is an extra freshness check, not a synonym for holding an elevated role. Release, rollback, card replacement and protected administrative workflows have their named checks. Urgency approval records second-factor evidence without inheriting release's fresh challenge. Ordinary hold and shortage actions must not be described as if each requires a new five-minute challenge.
