Two shop visits and a sitting
Stockroom reading
Two visits to one shop. The sales floor, the back room, and the invoices you already keep are drawn into shelf maps and a sitting with the owner.
Readings
Four ways to have a room drawn.
The stockroom reading is the full file: floor, back room, and a sitting. The others are for a season, a pair of shops, or the hour before an order goes out.
One visit and a short sitting
Seasonal shelf study
One visit, one family of goods, drawn before you place the seasonal order: what is left from last year, what is already on the facing, and what the back room is still holding.
A visit to each shop and one sitting
Branch ledger
The same lines counted in two shops and set on one pair of pages, so a full shelf in Khlong Kum is not mistaken for the same fullness in Min Buri.
A seated hour
Buying evening
A seated hour for the people who write the orders, turning a reading that already exists, or a thinner set of notes prepared from your papers alone.
