ERP industry variants
Industry pattern guidance, not client fact.
Use this skill after scope and evidence intake to choose relevant questions and to create an industry assumption list. These patterns do not establish a client process, configuration, control, regulatory obligation, benchmark, risk, or recommendation. Validate every answer with user-supplied evidence and record unsupported answers as evidence gaps or hypotheses.
For every selected pattern, begin the output with: Industry pattern guidance, not client fact. List the selected industry, question, supplied Evidence IDs or Gap IDs, answer status, and any calculation assumptions. Do not use a pattern to rank entities or assert a regulatory, audit, security, or compliance outcome.
Manufacturing
- Which product, production-order, routing, BOM, work-centre, and shift scope is evidenced?
- What evidence establishes planning changes, material availability, yield/scrap, rework, and production confirmation?
- Which inventory movements and cost/variance handoffs are evidenced, and at what grain?
Distribution
- What evidence establishes inbound receipt, put-away, replenishment, allocation, picking, packing, shipment, and proof of delivery?
- Which warehouse, carrier, channel, and order-priority scopes are represented?
- What evidence identifies stock accuracy, backorders, substitution, returns, or manual warehouse exceptions?
Retail
- Which store, e-commerce, marketplace, POS, promotion, and return flows are in scope?
- What evidence connects item, price/promotion, inventory, sale, tender, and settlement records?
- Which timing, channel, stock-out, markdown, or reconciliation exceptions are evidenced?
Project Business
- What evidence establishes project, WBS, contract, milestone, resource, cost, billing, and revenue-recognition scope?
- Which approvals govern estimate changes, time/expense capture, change orders, and invoice milestones?
- What evidence identifies project-margin, utilisation, work-in-progress, or billing-delay exceptions?
Regulated Operations
- Which user-supplied regulation, policy, product, site, batch/lot, and market scope is applicable?
- What evidence establishes traceability, approvals, segregation, change control, exception handling, and record retention?
- Which control or data-quality issues are directly evidenced, and which require a named validation owner or specialist review?
