Inventory reconciliation across multiple warehouses or branches

Purpose

 1.1. Ensure real-time, error-free reconciliation of inventory data among multiple warehouses or branches in HVAC wholesale; support demand forecasting, restocking, and minimize over/understock.
 1.2. Automate matching of stock levels, transfers, and adjustments, aligning ERP, warehouse management, and sales systems.
 1.3. Improve coordination between procurement, sales, and distribution; provide up-to-date insights for complete air conditioning system suppliers.
 1.4. Detect and notify discrepancies to reduce shrinkage, loss, and manual intervention—critical for multi-location HVAC operations.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. Scheduled (e.g., nightly sync at 2 AM).
 2.2. On warehouse system update (item in/out, transfer scan).
 2.3. Threshold breach (stock level mismatch, negative quantity, abnormal variance).
 2.4. Manual trigger (inventory manager initiates ad-hoc audit).
