This page condenses the close motion into the artifacts a buyer needs before signature.
Faster counter service, fewer blind bin checks, and cleaner reorder decisions for branch managers.

Branch product identity: needs-client
Warehouse label vocabulary: template
ERP handoff language: template
SKU -> Item, part number, product code, or catalog item
Will-call -> Pickup queue, contractor pickup, counter hold, or ready bay
Cycle count -> Bin check, stock audit, inventory count, or variance review
Acceptance criteria
What proves the pilot worked.
At least 2,500 SKU rows import with required item, bin, and branch fields.
Scanner acceptance test covers barcode alias, duplicate scan, and manual fallback scenarios.
Receiving variances and cycle count exceptions can export for ERP review.
Will-call queue works on mobile without horizontal overflow or unreadable pickup states.
Item master accepted: Pilot category records loaded with UPC, bin, on-hand, reorder, and supplier fields validated.
Scanner workflow accepted: Representative barcode scans resolve to the correct SKU, bin, and receiving context.
Risk controls
What stays out until it is approved.
Pilot risk control 1: Do not let ERP posting, supplier EDI, or replenishment automation expand the first pilot before branch workflow value is proven.
Pilot risk control 2: No ERP writeback or replenishment automation in the base pilot.
Pilot risk control 3: No real-time supplier EDI until source formats and exception rules are approved.
ERP posting can turn a branch pilot into a high-risk integration project.: Start with import/export and only promote posting after variance handling is accepted.
Barcode quality and SKU aliases can break counter trust quickly.: Run scanner acceptance tests with real labels before any live branch workflow.
Do not promise ERP replacement or real-time inventory authority.
Do not enable automated stock adjustments without sign-off on posting rules.
