Inventory - Standard Workflow (2 signatures required)

All inventory movements require sign-off to release inventory and sign-off to receive inventory. This provides full traceability, responsibility tracking, and a complete audit trail.

Purpose

The standard request workflow allows a Site User to request inventory, material, gear, or components required for work on site.

Every request, delivery, return, and transfer must be signed by the sending party and the receiving party.

This ensures:

  • Stock is controlled and authorized

  • Items cannot be issued without approval

  • A full audit trail exists for every movement

  • Clear accountability for stock on site and in the yard
