| Step | What to check or do | Done |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Decide keep, return, or discard before doing anything else | |
| 2 | Assign a permanent SKU (see the SKU-system guide) | |
| 3 | Record acquisition date and purchase cost | |
| 4 | Test functionality if the item is powered or mechanical | |
| 5 | Note condition honestly, including any flaws or missing parts | |
| 6 | Route to photo-ready, or to the cleaning/testing/repair queue | |
| 7 | Assign and record a storage location ID | |
| 8 | Set a target price range using your own pricing method |
The order matters — deciding keep/return/discard before assigning a SKU means you're never assigning permanent identifiers to items that shouldn't be kept in the first place. See the daily intake workflow guide for the reasoning behind each step.
