A physical material and its document record need an explicit relationship.

Origin / Identity / Evidence

Follow the material.

Connect the lot to its records. Find the gaps before the material changes hands.

Review a material record

A document can support a claim. It does not prove every claim. Keep origin, transaction history and verification separate.

ANATOMY OF A MATERIAL RECORD

Which physical material does the document describe? A lot number must connect to receiving and transfer records.

FOLLOW ONE LOT

A label is the beginning.
Keep the trail connected.

Choose the break in the record you need to resolve.

SPLIT / TRANSFERRED

Preserve the parent lot

Keep quantities and child identifiers attached to the original record.
