This feature is available on Goodshuffle Pro Standard and above.
What Are Auto Set Asides?
Auto Set Asides are automatic inventory holds created by Goodshuffle Pro when an item hasn't been manually checked in after a project ends and its buffer period expires. Instead of assuming the item is available, the system steps in to set it aside with the label "Auto-Set Aside".
📌 Note: This feature requires the Advanced Inventory add-on.
This ensures:
Inventory reflects reality, even if check-in was skipped
Conflicts are triggered on future projects to alert your team
How Are Auto Set Asides Triggered?
Auto Set Asides are part of the background check-in logic, triggered when:
A project has ended
The post-project buffer has expired
Items remain marked as "in use"
Goodshuffle Pro then:
Automatically sets aside the remaining quantity
Applies the reason "Auto Set Aside"
Keeps the item unavailable until manually resolved
How to Configure Auto Set Aside Behavior
Admins and Account Owners can customize which items use this feature in the Inventory Settings:
To configure Auto Set Asides:
Go to the "Inventory" section in the left-hand menu
Click "Settings"
Scroll to "Category Buffers & Return Automation"
Click "Edit Category Buffers"
For each category, choose:
A Pre-Event Buffer (optional)
A Post-Event Buffer (e.g., 48 hours for linens)
A Post-Event Workflow: Choose between Auto Set Aside or Auto Check-In
This setup ensures certain categories (like dishes) are automatically pulled from availability until manually resolved.
