Keep inventory master current for operations and planners

Operations coordinators and supply planners rely on stock files; stale master reports risk stockouts or overstock. This replaces the master report on new extracts so planners use current stock.

Overview

Stale master inventory reports put replenishment decisions at risk and lead to stockouts or excess stock. This workflow replaces the canonical inventory file whenever a new extract appears, eliminating version confusion and ensuring supply planners act on current stock levels. Teams report fewer manual updates and clearer handoffs after implementing this pattern.
