# Inventory - Immediate Workflow (1 signature required)

In this mode:

* Deliveries can be approved and instantly added to site
* Returns can be processed directly at the yard without site sign-off
* Transfers can be sent immediately without requiring the receiving site to sign

***

## **Purpose**

The Immediate Workflow is used when a company does not require sign-off for stock movement.\
It provides a faster workflow and is useful when the same user controls both the sending and receiving sides, or when signatures are unnecessary.

> **Note:** There is still a full audit trail, but no approval steps are required from the receiving location.

***

## **Immediate Inventory Flow**

Request → Inventory Management Team Approves → Delivery Allocated to Site (No Signature Needed) → Yard Receives Returns Immediately → Transfers Sent Immediately (No Receiving Signature)

***

### **1. Request Inventory**

Same process as the standard workflow:

* Site submits a request
* Inventory Management Team approves
* A delivery is created

> **Difference:**\
> Once the delivery is approved, the inventory is automatically assigned to the site.\
> No “Receive Delivery” signature is needed.

***

### **2. Immediate Delivery Allocation**

* Delivery is approved
* Stock is instantly added to the Site
* No user action required on site
* No signature required

### **3. Immediate Return to Yard**

When inventory arrives at the yard:

1. Yard opens **Returns**
2. Selects the site
3. Enters returned quantities
4. Clicks **Approve Return**

No signature from site is required.\
Inventory is instantly allocated back into the yard.

***

### **4. Immediate Site-to-Site Transfers**

1. Open **Transfers**
2. Select Transfer From and Transfer To
3. Enter items
4. Click **Send Immediately**

The receiving site does not sign to accept.\
Inventory is instantly transferred and allocated.

***

### **5. User Roles**

* Only users with the “Immediate Function” permission can use these workflows
* This permission bypasses signature requirements
* All movements are still logged for tracking and reporting

***

### **Tips**

* Use only when signatures are not required by your company
* Immediate workflows are often used in internal yards or controlled environments
* If you need an audit trail with sign-off, use the Standard Workflow instead

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cloudscaff.com/workflows/inventory-immediate-workflow-1-signature-required.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
