Understand On-Site Operations First
During checkout, items are selected by product name, but warehouse inventory is tracked using a separate specification table. After returns/exchanges, staff are unsure which SKU should return to which warehouse, and online store inventory lacks clear sourcing.
How to arrange system workflows?
1. Standardize SKU coding
Assign unique codes and barcodes to each specification; ensure consistent identifiers for purchasing, selling, and returns.
2. Define return policies
Define business methods for returns with invoices, partial refunds, and exchanges; verify amounts and inventory handling.
3. Establish procurement and inventory counting procedures
Record procurement from suppliers through receiving, inventory counts, and adjustments; reconcile discrepancies regularly.
4. Evaluate e-commerce integration separately
Define product mapping, order processing, and inventory update directions based on platform version; plan coordination between stores and online shops.
How to determine if the process is ready?
- Every sale must trace to specific variants
- Partial refund amounts and inventory rules can be explained
- Sync failures not mistakenly marked as successfully updated
