01 Troubleshooting Principle

WMS issues should first be classified by layer: account permission, customer scope, warehouse scope, product master data, available inventory, inbound status, outbound release, channel sync, billing rule, or AI-assisted recommendation. Review system records and logs before making adjustments or retries.

02 Quick Check Sequence

  1. Confirm the user has the correct warehouse, customer, and menu permissions.
  2. Confirm the order or SKU belongs to the selected customer scope.
  3. Check whether date range, status, or keyword filters are too narrow.
  4. Compare inbound, outbound, inventory, task, and report status.
  5. For channel sync issues, check store connection, authorization, sync time, and logs.
  6. For billing issues, check charge rules, invoices, work-order cost, and labeling cost.
