Core Inventory Model
Skunivo treats PostgreSQL-backed inventory records as the source of truth. The app exposes operational workflows, while the ledger explains how stock changed.
Product + Location + Segment
Section titled “Product + Location + Segment”Most inventory state is understood through a combination of product, location, environment and optional inventory segments such as owner and channel.
Balance States
Section titled “Balance States”Balances can include:
onHand: physical or controlled stock currently held.available: stock that can be reserved or used.reserved: stock held for a reservation.committed: stock committed to outbound fulfillment.incoming: expected stock that has not been received yet.damaged: stock separated because it is damaged.qualityControl: stock waiting for inspection.safetyStock: stock protected from normal availability.
Ledger First
Section titled “Ledger First”Every critical inventory change should create a movement. Corrections are made with compensating movements instead of editing historical movements.
Operational Flows
Section titled “Operational Flows”- Receive stock to increase on hand and available quantities.
- Adjust stock for counted differences or corrections.
- Reserve stock to hold available inventory.
- Transfer stock between locations.
- Use inbounds for expected receiving.
- Use outbounds for fulfillment demand.
