Without a unit cost the part’s standard cost is used, because the moving average is computed from inbound movements and a costless receipt dilutes it.

p_occurred_at and p_transaction_type are for an opening balance: stock that has been there since before this product existed, dated as the customer says. One writer of inbound movements rather than two.

p_booking_rate_id and p_cost_center_id hold the part in this store under a rate card and a Cost Center, where the organisation bills consumables; a draw from that stock is then billed on them. A store may hold a part under several pairs, each its own stock: a receipt under a pair the store already holds adds to it, and one under another pair starts a second beside it.
