What the documents look like
A brand concession inside a shopping mall sells through the mall POS, while the brand ERP and finance system keep separate records. The two data streams meet at concession-fee settlement. Daily and monthly documents include the joint-operation concession contract, mall activity letters, sales receipts, and monthly settlement statements. The update rhythm is daily and monthly, and the routing task for order fulfillment and after-sales questions has to place contract terms, activity-letter conditions, receipt details, and monthly differences into one review flow.
The contract is the controlling document for concession rates and settlement treatment. An activity letter normally states only the activity window and how customers participate. When the two disagree, the workflow cannot decide the matter on its own. For after-sales questions, this distinction matters because a receipt shows a sale, an activity letter shows an offered condition, and the monthly statement shows how the fee was actually calculated. These are separate facts, and routing must keep them separate.
Two or three industry facts shape this page. Mall POS collection and separate brand records create a reconciliation point that routing must reach without merging the two sources. The concession contract, activity letter, receipt, and monthly statement each carry different authority. The daily and monthly update rhythm means a routing step may see a receipt before the monthly statement exists.
Constraints at the workflow routing step
When a form input node triggers, the conversation enters an interactive state, the node records the workflow state, and after the user completes the interaction, execution continues. The form input node collects required information and passes it to later nodes. A user selection node also enters the interactive state, and when the user makes a choice, it evaluates that choice and executes the corresponding "yes" branch. The interactive state is recorded by the interaction node itself. No separate global state-recording switch is documented.
Collected information must be clearly passed to later retrieval, judgment, or interface nodes. Order writes, document backfill, and external status synchronization require a separate business interface or a later flow. Semantic recall and relevance scores in a retrieval library do not perform permission or entity isolation. Libraries using different vector models cannot be associated together. Retrieval is not authorization.
Hypothetical paper exercise sample: a concession manager submits an after-sales handover request. The material text reads: "Joint-operation concession contract clause 3: the concession rate for this counter is twenty-two percent of the month's tax-inclusive sales. Mall activity letter: during the March 8 to March 10 full-reduction activity, the concession rate is settled at eighteen percent. Sales receipt: on March 9, one coat was sold for one thousand two hundred yuan. Monthly settlement statement: March concession fee calculated at twenty-two percent." The draft sentence to be assessed is: "The March 9 sale has completed concession settlement at the activity-letter rate of eighteen percent." The authorization boundary for this request is that the manager initiates a review. It does not include finance confirmation or settlement execution.
Configuration and implementation checks
The configuration below is tied to the sample and to the named primary task. The values are hypothetical starting points for this exercise, chosen to give a comparison target against the material text. They are not official defaults.
| Configuration item | Hypothetical starting point for this exercise | How to check |
|---|---|---|
| Form input node | Collect manager, counter, period, document number | After submission, compare against later node input |
| User selection node | Set "materials complete / materials missing" branches | Verify each branch connection one by one |
| Interactive state | Recorded by the interaction node | Observe whether the conversation enters the interactive state |
| Output handoff | Pass form information to retrieval or judgment nodes | Compare each output item against the input |
| Retrieval scope | Joint-operation contract, activity letter, sales receipt, monthly statement | Confirm the materials are inside the accessible retrieval scope |
| External actions | Order writes and settlement execution connect to a separate business interface | Confirm no automatic settlement action occurs |
The starting value for the form input node was chosen because the sample request names a manager, a counter, a period, and a document number. The comparison method is a field-by-field match between submitted values and the values received downstream. The retrieval scope starting point was chosen because the four document types are the ones named in the brief. The comparison method is to confirm each named document is reachable within the accessible scope.
Three common errors
- Treating the activity letter's eighteen percent as a completed settlement result. The activity letter states an activity window and participation method. Settlement treatment follows the joint-operation contract and the monthly statement, and the sample statement still calculates at twenty-two percent.
- Treating form submission as authorized execution. The form input node collects required information and passes it to later nodes. Order writes and settlement execution require a separate business interface.
- Using retrieval relevance in place of a permission decision. Semantic recall does not perform entity isolation. Libraries using different vector models cannot be associated together. Check identifiers first and exclude those that do not match.
How to verify the setup
- Input the sample material text and the draft sentence. Compare the draft sentence "completed concession settlement at eighteen percent" against the statement line "calculated at twenty-two percent." Check whether they share the same subject, the same period, and the same field. If the statement does not state that the activity applied, the draft sentence is unsupported, and the evidence gap is recorded. A same-field, mutually exclusive value is the only condition that counts as a contradiction.
- Input the form submission output. Compare whether manager, counter, period, and document number are passed completely to later nodes. If a field is missing, inspect the node connections and the output handoff settings. A pending review does not show that an operation permission is missing.
- Input a clearly labelled paper empty result. Observe whether the downstream design handles an empty result. If the downstream design assumes a hit must exist, record that the branch is not covered. Do not claim that a fictional rule retrieval necessarily returns an empty result.
These checks test the named primary task: routing after-sales questions for a brand mall concession. They inspect specific proposed copy sentences against the supplied material wording and its limits. They do not drift into identity certification, report analysis, or any other task. Each check states what is input, what is compared, and what observable result satisfies the condition. No test, deployment, approval, refund, or other business action is claimed to have happened.
