    What does each step mean?

    1. Count the shelf is the trigger. Compare with the book catches a count that cannot be true.
    2. Below the reorder point? creates a PO or files the count.
    3. Update the book is shared so the file count and the reorder both leave a current number.
    4. Done ends the cycle. The next count is a new pass.
