These points require confirmation from a product owner or domain expert before the stories become contractual specifications.

  1. Which costing methods are supported in production, and when is cost fixed versus recalculated?

  4. Which exact statuses exist for Stock In, Stock Out, Transfer, Reconciliation, Opening Balance, and Landed Cost?
  5. Does a Stock Transfer post both warehouse legs immediately, or can dispatch and receipt occur separately?
  6. How do transfer requests constrain transfer quantity, status, and partial fulfillment?
  7. What are the precise landed-cost allocation methods and rounding/residual rules?
  8. What transactions reset an item's slow-moving clock, and how are never-moved items treated?
  9. Are opening balances allowed once per item/warehouse, once per financial year, or whenever the period policy permits?
  10. Which master-data records are deleted versus deactivated when already referenced?
  11. What concurrency behavior is required when two users issue, transfer, count, or post the same stock simultaneously?
