Stock Movements

Between arriving and being consumed, stock moves — between branches, into kitchen departments, through production, and out through adjustments. Every movement here is a real transaction: stock and its ledger posting are written together, so the stores and the books cannot disagree.

• Transfers & Demands — moving stock between branches, and the demand flow where a branch requests stock.
• Production — turning raw ingredients into prepared, stocked items, costed at what the ingredients actually cost.
• Adjustments & Wastage — corrections and losses, with an honest reason on every line.

The department tier#

Branches that run kitchen department stock add one internal movement: issuance — stock moving from the branch store to a department (the grill, the bakery, the bar). Departments then hold, consume and count their own stock; the department versions of adjustments, production and counts act on the department's holding rather than the store's. Two conveniences knit the tiers together: a received purchase can be directly issued to a department, and an incoming branch transfer can auto-issue to a department on arrival.

Departments can also raise issuance demands — a request the store fulfils — mirroring how branches request transfers from each other. The demand flow is covered with transfers.
