# Choose your path

> Start with the job in front of you and open a current AIM destination for setup, receiving, listing, fulfillment, or investigation.

Use the job, not the menu label, to choose a starting point. These paths lead to current AIM destinations and end with a result to verify; they do not assume that every channel follows the same sequence.

## Boundaries worth remembering

* A connection being saved, or a local connection label being active, is not the same as provider-specific approval or validation.
* A receipt records what arrived; it does not by itself prove that every unit is ready for every channel.
* A listing action is applied only after the exact scoped provider result confirms it. Timeout, rate-limit, and temporary failure are not success.
* An operational order stage preserves channel-native status. Do not use one channel’s status mapping for another channel.
* Available and Ready to list are different inventory questions, and Reserved has already left Available. Use [How the inventory numbers fit together](/concepts/inventory-numbers) for the definitions.

## When the path stops being clear

Do not force a count adjustment, retry an external action, or mark an order complete when the result is missing or contradictory. Use the AIM Assistant's thumbs-down feedback and choose **Contact support**; the ticket includes your question, the answer, the conversation ID, and the page. A timeout or unknown status is not permission to force success.

For the full sequence and its non-linear entry points, read [The AIM lifecycle from Intake to Fulfillment](/start/lifecycle-overview).
