This guide provides general planning information. Product, technical, legal and tax requirements should be verified for your own business.

Key takeaways
  • Describe movements, not feature names
  • Include exceptions and permissions
  • Use sample data in demos

Describe the item model

List units, variants, barcodes, batches, expiry dates and pack sizes only where they genuinely apply.

  • Required identifiers
  • Units and conversions
  • Variant dimensions
  • Supplier and pricing records

Map every stock movement

Receiving, sale, return, transfer, damage and adjustment should each have an owner and evidence.

Define reports and acceptance

Bring examples of the reports used to make decisions. Write test cases for stock counts, valuation inputs and user permissions before rollout.
