What Hospitality ERP enforces at each step.
Partial release requires physically identifiable portions; repacking preserves original age and active claims.
Output valuation may precede fitness release. Held goods stay valued and unavailable for service.
Actual use, included loss, separate scrap and unused returns reconcile without duplicate source relief.
Missing evidence remains unresolved; known zero cost is distinct from unknown cost.
