Who this is for

This resource is designed for Event organisers and Operations managers who need a practical, reusable document for event operations.

How to use this resource

  1. 1

    Add the event information and assumptions

    Open the file and replace placeholders with your event name, dates, venues, audience size and planning assumptions.

  2. 2

    Assign owners and dates

    Give each section or row a named owner and a completion date so responsibilities are visible across the team.

  3. 3

    Review the plan with the relevant team

    Walk through the resource with operations, marketing or commercial owners before locking decisions.

  4. 4

    Update it as the event changes

    Keep the live file current as scope, suppliers and timelines change so handoffs stay accurate through event day.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Leaving owners blank so actions stall between departments
  • Treating the file as a one-off instead of the live working copy
  • Skipping evidence columns so audit trails break on event day

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the format of the Inventory Setup Checklist?+

The resource is inventory-setup-checklist.pdf, a three-page printable checklist with no editable XLSX file listed in the catalogue.

Which inventory readiness areas does the checklist cover?+

It covers stock catalogues, suppliers, locations, opening stock imports, receiving, counts, transfers, adjustments, replenishment, POS mapping, reporting and go-live sign-off.

When should inventory setup be signed off?+

Complete the controls before live trading, after catalog, location, supplier, POS mapping and opening-stock checks are ready; schedule reporting and close-out controls for event day.

How does the setup checklist relate to the stock workbooks?+

It is the readiness layer linking the separate stock catalog, opening-stock import, count and replenishment resources; it does not replace those operational files or an inventory platform.
