StoresFlow owners administer the site. Give yourself an additional operational role only when your work requires it: ownership alone does not allow receiving, stock adjustment or material-policy activation.
Prepare the site
Sign in through Accounts, choose the correct organisation and complete site setup. In Stores and bins, create the stores and the receiving, bin or staging locations needed by the actual workflow. Keep codes recognisable at the rack. A receiving location and an ordinary storage bin serve different purposes, so check the type before saving.
Open Team and stations to assign product roles and add working stations. Central identity and product access are managed through Accounts access; local site assignments and stations are managed here. Sensitive setup changes require recent Accounts verification. Assign a supervisor to operational decisions and an author and reviewer to the materials and policies production will use.
Establish a controlled start
Follow site setup and opening. A store or home-bin import does not create stock. Opening stock needs a supervisor, reconciled physical quantities and a declaration that the previous stock ledger has stopped for that scope.
The site can require a reviewer different from the last draft editor. Changing that setting is an owner decision with a reason. It is not a way to repair a failed policy proof.
Keep administration distinct
Use Plan and usage, Connections, Read API and events, Health and Site lifecycle as appropriate to your responsibility. A complete export is protected by recent verification. Closure or reopening involves the separate supervisor custody review described in recovery and closure.
When a stock discrepancy is reported, give the supervisor the item, location, original movement and physical evidence. Do not make an administrative setup change to conceal the discrepancy.
Use the administrative task guides
Use people and working stations for site restrictions and station handover, sales channels for the exact SmartFACT Data connection, and read credentials and events for external read access and retained delivery repair. Health shows installation checks and site attention counts; a working page does not establish scanner, printer or physical-stock qualification. Escalate a failed installation check with the displayed build, check and outstanding work.
