Template description
Publish count plan leads to Lock inventory movements, then Physical count by teams, then Enter results. Only then does Match book value ask the question. Yes goes to Resume operations and from there to Archive report, so a clean count unlocks the warehouse and files the paperwork. No goes to Analyze variance and the Root cause known diamond. Yes posts an accounting adjustment and then joins Resume operations, which means the adjustment is what allows the unlock. No escalates to the warehouse lead and returns to Analyze variance. An unknown cause does not unlock the floor and does not archive anything. Both successful exits share the resume box. The escalate arrow does not.
When to use it
Bring it to a month-end close when the warehouse wants to reopen aisles before accounting will post the difference. You can point at the resume box and show that it is reached from a match or from a posted adjustment, never from the escalation arrow.
How to adapt it
Name the count window on Publish count plan, and say which movements Lock inventory movements actually freezes. If a recount is its own step, insert it between the warehouse lead and Analyze variance. If your policy lets a lead unlock without a cause, add that arrow yourself. Otherwise leave the unknown-cause loop where it is, and put the account code on Post accounting adjustment.
