What it writes
Add to Bench hands a commitment's worked buy to the Bench: for every style with a depth a person decided, one Bench line per item, the quantity from the worked depth, the split from the worked colour and size curves (colour first, then size, with any remainder landing so the parts add back to the depth), the supplier the item's own default. Nothing else is written. A Bench line reserves nothing, spends nothing and is removable; no purchase order is created, no envelope is consumed, and none of the five declared numbers moves. Only an approved order draws down. What is staged is what a person decided: a forecast is not a decision, and a style with no worked depth is not staged.
Who may press it
A seat that can write, on a tenant whose plan includes Commitments. The act's home is Work the buy: with nothing ticked, the foot carries the whole-buy act; while rows are ticked, the same act stands in the strip above the grid, reading Add N styles to the Bench. Ask Tightly may propose it; pressing the chip asks Ask Tightly to restate the act, and your yes is the confirm, so nothing is staged until a person presses. Over MCP nothing here writes: a connected agent reads the commitment and its buy, and Add to Bench stays a person's press.
How
- On Work the buy, give each style you intend to buy a depth: press Take it under its forecast, or type it in Planned buy.
- Read the strip under the table. It says how many styles and units it will hand over, the money at cost, and which styles it will hold back and why.
- Tick rows to stage only some of them; the strip then reads Add N styles to the Bench.
- Press Add to Bench. Nothing pops up and nothing navigates away.
- Read the receipt where the button was. Every style you asked for is in exactly one of its two lists: staged, or held back with the engine's own sentence.
- 1The button is disabled until one style has a recorded depth.
What you see
Before the press, the strip says what it will hand over: how many styles, how many units, and the money at cost (or that it is not valued in full), and which styles it will hold back and why. Where the Bench already holds this commitment's lines, the strip says how many lines and styles are there instead of offering a second press. After the press, the receipt prints where the button was:
{N} styles added to the Bench as {lines} lines, {units} units; {skipped} not staged.
Every style the act held back is listed beneath it with the engine's own sentence. Every requested style comes back in exactly one of the two lists, so a partial act cannot report only its successes.
What to do
The way back is removing the lines this act wrote from the Bench. To stage again, remove this commitment's lines from the Bench first. Staging skips a style rather than guessing: set a depth on Work the buy, or a share for every size and colourway, and press again.
Refusals you may read
A style that is not staged carries one of the engine's sentences:
This commitment does not cover this style, so its buy is not this commitment's to stage.
Nobody has decided how many of this style to buy, so there is no quantity to stage. Set a depth on Work the buy first.
Somebody decided to buy none of this style. Staging nothing is that decision carried out, not a failure.
This style was pulled from the range, so it is not bought even where a depth is still on record.
Part of this style has no share of the buy, so the units cannot be divided without guessing. A size or colourway with no reading is not the same as one cut to zero; set a share for every one, or cut the ones you do not want.
This style's split does not add up to a whole buy, so it cannot be applied as it is. The total is shown as found rather than adjusted to fit.
Part of this style has no default supplier, so an order line cannot be written for it. Staging the rest would stage a partial buy nobody decided on.
Every part of this style is cut to zero, so there is nothing to order even though a depth is set.
A second press on a Bench that already holds this commitment's lines is refused with the counts, because the Bench adds on conflict and a doubled buy looks exactly like a buy:
The Bench already holds {lines} line(s) for this commitment, covering {styles} style(s). Staging again would add to those quantities rather than replace them, so this would double the buy. Remove them from the Bench first, then stage.
A commitment that does not exist is refused as not found. A tenant whose account cannot yet store a worked depth reads:
This organization cannot stage a commitment's buy yet; nothing here stores a worked depth, so there is no quantity to hand to the Bench. It becomes available with the next release.
