What Wilson looks like from here.
Wilson is Wilson County's county seat, a distribution and manufacturing town on I-95 with its own employers. Warehouses along the interstate and older plants nearer downtown often belong to the same firm. The warehouse records cases and the office records invoices, and the two lists disagree by the time a manager asks for a total.
A Wilson operation typically runs a warehouse system, an accounting package, and Microsoft 365. Customer pricing sits in a workbook the sales team trusts more than the order system. Shipment details and customer names are the files that should stay out of a public AI tool. We write that limit down, then connect only the exports the assessment can match. The report lands in the company's own Microsoft cloud account. Lucama and Sims are in Wilson County too, and the warehouse-and-office split is the local pattern there as well.
What we would expect to find here. Warehouse quantities and office invoices are the two lists Wilson companies struggle to reconcile. Exports that can be matched are connected. The rest stay off the report.
Wilson is a service area, not an office. One team, based in North Carolina, works in your own systems.

Our warehouse system and our office system disagree. Where do you start?
Start with the assessment. It lists what the Wilson warehouse records and what the office records, and it says which of those can feed one report. The written rule for shipment and customer data comes before any connection.
