The workflow

Bring the truth. Make the next move clear.

01

Describe the task

Compare two or more inventory snapshots, align matching items, and produce an exception list for every count that does not agree.

02

Provide the working context

  • Current inventory exports or pasted tables from each selling channel
  • The field that should identify the same item across sources, ideally SKU
  • Known bundles, aliases, locations, reserved stock, and timing differences
03

Review how Claude handles it

  • Maps source columns into a common comparison table without altering originals
  • Matches exact identifiers first and isolates uncertain mappings for review
  • Calculates count differences while preserving location and availability context
  • Ranks exceptions by severity and proposes the next record to inspect

What you get

A traceable inventory exception report with matched rows, count differences, and unresolved mappings.

Before you run it

Questions for this workflow

Can Claude safely match products when channel names differ?

Only when a stable identifier or an approved mapping supports the match. Exact SKUs are preferable. Similar names can be surfaced as candidates, but uncertain matches should remain in a review queue so a plausible wording resemblance does not become an incorrect inventory adjustment.

What context should I provide first?

Start with current inventory exports or pasted tables from each selling channel. Then add the field that should identify the same item across sources, ideally SKU. Keep the source material current, remove sensitive information that is not needed, and tell Claude which facts are verified so gaps remain visible instead of being filled by assumption.

What should I review before acting on the result?

Review the source facts, assumptions, calculations, and any marked gaps behind this deliverable: A traceable inventory exception report with matched rows, count differences, and unresolved mappings. Compare it with the live system or responsible teammate, and check before approving any action.
