Tabs

Part number, description, category, unit of measure, standard cost, and the totals across all stores.
Where this part actually is — quantity per store, per bin, with each store’s own reorder point.The stock tab of a partThis is the tab that answers “we have twelve, but are any of them here”.
The ledger: every receipt, issue, return, transfer and adjustment, with date, quantity, job and who did it.Every stock number in the product is derived from this ledger. If a figure looks wrong, this is where the truth is.
Who sells it, at what price, with what lead time. Lead time is what makes a reorder recommendation actionable — a part that takes six weeks needs reordering long before one that arrives tomorrow.
Parts that will do instead. When stock is short, readiness and the reorder list can consider substitutes rather than declaring a job blocked.
Which assets take this part — the reverse of an asset’s bill of materials. Useful before discontinuing something: this tab says what would be orphaned.
How much of it you actually get through, computed from the ledger rather than read from a summary. A part with no summary is not a part with no history.Consumption drives the demand rate the reorder list works from.

Issuing against a job

Parts are issued from a store against a work order. That does three things at once: it reduces stock, it puts a cost on the job, and it adds to the consumption history that forecasts future demand. Whether parts may be issued at all depends on the status the job is in — a flag on your state model, not a rule here.

​
Adjustments

A stock count that disagrees with the ledger is corrected with an adjustment, which is itself a transaction with a reason. Stock is never silently overwritten.
