Business Decision Log

Unresolved decisions must be assigned and closed before Handover Approved. Source-confirmed current behavior remains documented even when it may not match intended policy.

Decision ID	Area	Decision required	Current implemented behavior/evidence	Owner	Status
DEC-001	Inventory Opening Balance	Should posting create an Inventory GL journal, and against which opening/adjustment account?	Current handler changes stock/cost only; no journal.	Finance owner	Open
DEC-002	Inventory Reconciliation	Should shortage/surplus use Adjustment account?	Current shortage uses COGS; surplus uses Goods in Transit.	Finance and Inventory owners	Open
DEC-003	Sales COGS	Should COGS resolve category then settings everywhere?	A lookup supports Category -> Settings, while linked Stock Out service uses Settings COGS directly.	Finance and Sales owners	Open
DEC-004	Negative stock	Is negative stock allowed in any scope?	Posted Stock Out validates aggregate available quantity and rejects shortage.	Inventory owner	Open
DEC-005	Stock Transfer	Is transfer immediate or dispatch/receipt in separate stages?	Current Post creates outbound and inbound legs together.	Inventory owner	Open
