Lot-record scenarios / Concept examples
Follow a lot as its records change hands.
Fictional lot histories show how labels, split shipments and document gaps affect traceability. They do not certify origin, legality, sustainability or any supplier claim.

01 / Creating traceable lumber lot identifiers
Fictional example: lot WP-100 is split into WP-100-A and WP-100-B. Both child records retain WP-100 and the original supplier reference. The identifiers document an internal relationship, not independently verified forest origin.

02 / Build a document inventory
Fictional example: an invoice supports a sale and quantity but contains no harvest statement. The origin field remains unknown instead of inheriting the seller’s address.

03 / Connect receiving to the source record
Fictional example: the packing list says batch B-27 while the bundle label says B-72. Both values remain in the record until the supplier provides a documented clarification.
