The situation

Inventory prepares and approves equipment; the guide confirms actual pickup while each item remains allocated to its guest.

What starts it

How it unfolds

InventoryGuide
  1. 1

    Review the guest-attributed request

    Inventory

    Open the request in SettleWise Inventory and compare all products, sizes and quantities with real stock.

  2. 2

    Prepare the complete request

    Inventory

    Approval is all-or-nothing. If stock cannot cover the request, leave it pending; do not record a rejection or a partial approval.

  3. 3

    Approve and reserve the prepared items

    Inventory

    Approval reserves stock and marks it ready for pickup. Notify the current assigned guides; this does not record physical collection.

  4. 4

    Collect items and confirm pickup

    Guide

    Key moment: a guide or assistant on the group confirms what they physically collected, usually the whole group's gear, and the rest of the team is notified. Staff need not be present. Remaining prepared items stay ready; stock is not deducted again.

  5. 5

    Keep the guest allocation through the stay

    Guide

    Equipment stays allocated to the guest. Coordinator corrections and guide rotations change access without moving equipment or rewriting the requester, approver or collector.
