INVENTORY ACTIVITY OR INVENTORY STATUS  v. 2.0.2

Problem Statement

The purpose of the Business Solution Design (BSD) is to document a process-to-data approach using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) notation.  Processes and their business requirements are clearly understood because of the use of formal modeling with the UML models.  Agreed to models permit the application of the data elements to support the processes.  The biggest benefit of this process-to-data approach is the alignment of the model to fit the business need.

Objective

The objective of this document is to consolidate the inventory status advice and inventory adjustment standard into one process termed as Inventory Activity or Inventory Status. 

Audience

The audience for this document is the global business community being any business that stores or owns goods at one or more points in the supply chain.
