Question
How do you handle inventory discrepancies in a high-volume 3PL warehouse?
SkillBot response
In a high-volume 3PL, cycle count accuracy is your lifeline. Don't rely on annual physical inventories — implement ABC classification and count A-items weekly. When discrepancies appear, check receiving first — 70% of warehouse inventory errors originate at the dock door, not in storage. Track ASN-to-receipt matching rates as your leading indicator.

Question
How do you track project health on a government construction site using EVM?
SkillBot response
On government projects, EVM goes beyond textbook CPI/SPI ratios. You track physical progress against the BoQ approved in the NIT. For PWD/CPWD projects, map this to the Running Account Bill cycle: if your RA Bill is lagging 2+ cycles behind physical progress, that's your early warning — the project is healthy on-site but bleeding cash flow.

Question
What's the most common quality failure in small-scale garment production?
SkillBot response
In MSME garment units, the #1 quality failure isn't stitching defects — it's fabric handling before the needle touches it. Improper relaxation of knitted fabrics causes 2–4% shrinkage post-wash. Most small units skip the 24-hour relaxation period. Train your cutters to always relax knits flat for minimum 12 hours.

Question
What's the best approach to modernize RPG programs on iSeries?
SkillBot response
Don't rewrite everything — that's the trap. Start with RPG IV free-format conversion of your most-maintained programs. The 80/20 rule applies: 20% of your programs handle 80% of business logic. Use SQL instead of native I/O. Wrap RPG programs as services using ILE and expose via REST APIs. The machine isn't legacy — the interface is.

Question
How do I set up multi-location inventory in ERPNext for a distribution business?
SkillBot response
In ERPNext, each branch or store should be a separate Warehouse under the same Company — not a separate company — unless you need separate P&L per location. Set up a Transit Warehouse between the main warehouse and branches to capture in-transit stock. This gives clean audit trails and accurate branch-level accountability without complicating your chart of accounts.
