How the model is organised

Cost basis

Organizations, stock items, standard costs and distribution policies define ownership and effective rules.

Physical source

Purchase orders, goods receipts and receipt acceptances distinguish commitment, arrival and accepted stock.

Stock history

Stock events group stock movements; inventory positions hold the current balance and stock layers retain source value.

Operations

Stock transfers, work orders and inventory counts explain movement, output and observed differences.

Finance

Valuation runs, valuation lines, close tasks, journal entries and accounting periods carry reconciliation and close evidence.

Keys and references

An entity owns each period, valuation run and stock position. A receipt acceptance points to its original receipt line. A stock event groups signed position and layer movements under one source action. A valuation line points to its run, monetary source, currency and rate. Decision references preserve the human authority used to release a controlled change.

Migration order

  1. Load entities, currencies, users, products, units and warehouse locations.
  2. Set effective costs, policies, accounts and required master approvals.
  3. Load supplier commitments and actual receipt history with accepted tranches.
  4. Establish stock positions, source layers, movements and any open transit.
  5. Reconcile counts, journals, monetary sources and period tasks before cutover.
