Inventory Flagging / Tagging

Color and icon coded tags or flags are attached to racks and pallets in the building to indicate their purpose, status, and who is responsible.

Icons and colors are used so the information can be quickly understand at a distance.

Each flag or tag has a space to write a Redmine ticket number that explains further details.

This is intended to be a kanban style signalling system (eventually), but is not yet implemented that way at the time of writing.

Flag Icons, Meaning, and Usage

Icon	Color	Meaning
!	ORANGE	CHECKIN Inventory is waiting to be checked in. The customer hasn't been officialy notified it's here. This needs to be attached as soon as the inventory arrives, along with the date of arrival. If the inventory needs checked in a special way, the flag should reference a Redmine ticket explaining that.
!	PURPLE	STUCK CHECKIN The inventory cannot and should not be checked in, but the customer is aware it's been delivered. The date should reflect when the customer was notified. There must be a redmine ticket explaining why it can't be checked in, who is responsible, and what the deadline is for a solution.
!	RED	REFURB The inventory is destined for refurb. The date should be the day refurb received the rack to their queing area and updated all items to Refurb In Progress. If refurb cannot process the inventory within 10 days, it should be updated to Customer Service Needed, and the flag should reference a Redmine ticket explaining why the inventory cannot be processed.
!	GREEN	STOW The inventory needs to be STOWed. The date should reflect when the inventory was released for STOW. If the inventory needs to be STOWed a special way, the flag should reference a Redmine ticket explaining what needs to be done, by who, and when.
!	YELLOW	NO MOVE / PREP The inventory is part of an ongoing or staged project and should not be moved or messed with. The date should reflect when the project was decided about / started. There must be a redmine ticket referencing who is doing the project, the instructions, and the deadline when it will be completed.
!	BLUE	OUTBOUND The inventory is waiting to be picked up. If the inventory will not be picked up the same day, the flag must reference a ticket that explains who is picking it up, when, and any relevent documents. The ticket must be assigned to Dock Crew.
