What the documents look like
Multi-warehouse allocation decides the shipping warehouse at the order routing stage, before handover to a carrier. The four document types in scope for operating reports and exception review are allocation rules, inventory synchronization tables, transfer orders and stockout warnings. Data originates from WMS, OMS, ERP inventory and platform inventory interfaces, and updates at daily or hourly frequency. The distinguishing feature of this category compared with courier handover is that allocation happens during routing, so an error can produce oversell refunds, higher cross-region freight and delayed dispatch.
Workflow routing here means chaining fields from those documents and manual verification actions into a traceable node sequence. The Form Input node and the User Selection node are both user interaction nodes. When either is triggered, the conversation enters an interaction state, the workflow state is recorded, and execution continues after the user completes the interaction. The Form Input node collects required information and, after submission, passes the collected information to subsequent nodes. The User Selection node evaluates the user's choice and executes the "yes" branch.
Constraints at the workflow routing step
The interaction state is a behaviour of the interaction nodes themselves. No separate global state-recording switch is documented, and none should be assumed. Collected information must be explicitly passed to the downstream retrieval, judgment or interface node, with outputs compared item by item against inputs.
Order writing, document backfill and external status synchronization require a separate business interface or a later process. The nodes themselves do not perform these business actions. Retrieval and form submission do not constitute authorization to execute. During operations handover, the authorization status of materials, actions and requests must be kept distinct.
A relevance score is not a category, entity or permission filter. A similarity setting does not exclude unrelated businesses or unauthorized records. Retrieval is not authorization. Where libraries use different vector models, they cannot be associated together; the model identifier must be checked first and non-matching libraries excluded, with actual observations recorded rather than inferred.
Hypothetical drill sample: an allocation rule document states, "Orders in the East China region ship from Warehouse A by default; when Warehouse A sellable inventory falls below the safety threshold, shipping switches to Warehouse B." A draft sentence under review reads, "When Warehouse A is out of stock, orders automatically switch to Warehouse B and the transfer is completed." The phrase "automatically switch and complete the transfer" exceeds the document's stated scope. The document describes only the shipping-warehouse switch condition and does not state the transfer execution party or the authorization boundary.
Configuration and implementation checks
| Configuration item | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Form Input node | User interaction node | Enters interaction state when triggered; collects required information |
| User Selection node | User interaction node | Executes the "yes" branch after the user makes a choice |
| Interaction state recording | Existing node behaviour | Triggered by interaction nodes; no separate global switch |
| Output handoff | Implementation check | Pass collected information to downstream retrieval, judgment or interface nodes |
| External operation split | Requires separate system implementation | Order writing, document backfill, external status synchronization |
| Retrieval scope check | Manual verification action | Confirm the material needed for verification sits within an accessible target retrieval scope |
The retrieval scope check row applies to the drill sample above: it confirms the allocation rule text is inside an accessible retrieval scope. No numeric starting value is required for this page, and none is documented.
Three common errors
- Treating retrieval or form submission as authorized execution. The error appears when information collected by a form is used directly as the basis for order writing or a completed transfer. Check method: input the draft sentence from the hypothetical sample, compare whether it contains a business action the source document does not state, and observe whether the draft exceeds the source scope.
- Inventing a global control switch for interaction nodes. The error appears when a submission-count limit or automatic judgment switch is claimed. Check method: input the node type names, compare against the official documentation, and observe whether the documentation describes only the interaction state trigger and collection of required information.
- Substituting a similarity score for permission or entity filtering. The error appears when a relevance setting is treated as excluding unrelated businesses or unauthorized records. Check method: input a retrieval request, compare the returned results against the access-right boundary, and observe whether any documented basis exists for the similarity setting to exclude unauthorized records.
How to verify the setup
- Verification one: input the hypothetical source text and the draft sentence, compare the draft phrase "automatically switch and complete the transfer" against the source phrase "when Warehouse A sellable inventory falls below the safety threshold, shipping switches to Warehouse B," and observe whether the draft adds execution and authorization content the source does not state. The condition is met when the draft is flagged as exceeding source scope, with the transfer execution party and authorization status retained as pending verification.
- Verification two: input the Form Input node and User Selection node names, compare the behaviours listed in the official documentation, and observe whether only the interaction state trigger, collection of required information and execution of the "yes" branch are described. The condition is met when the configuration items contain no submission count, automatic judgment or global state switch that the documentation does not state.
- Verification three: input a retrieval request and a target retrieval scope description, compare the returned results against the access-right boundary, and observe whether cross-vector-model libraries have been associated together. The condition is met when cross-model libraries are first checked by identifier and non-matching ones excluded, with the actual observation recorded as pending verification. No inference is drawn about missed recall or redundant returns. Empty-result handoff can be checked against a downstream design using the explicit paper input [], without claiming that a fictional rule retrieval must return empty.
