Stock and manufacturer records

Data: Stock and manufacturer records

The supplied manufact.unl excerpt contains five code/name records: SMT/Smith, ANZ/Anza, NRG/Norge, HSK/Husky, and HRO/Hero. The stock.unl excerpt contains 15 pipe-delimited records with six visible fields: numeric stock number, manufacturer code, description, decimal amount, unit, and unit description. Descriptions include baseball gloves, baseball, baseball bat, football, tennis racquet, tennis ball, basketball, volleyball, and volleyball net. Prices range from 19.80 to 960.00 in the displayed records; units include case and each. E0009

A conflicting secondary interpretation incorrectly states that the first field of stock.unl contains manufacturer codes such as HRO, HSK, and SMT. The displayed records begin with values such as 1|HRO|baseball gloves|250.00|case|10 gloves/case|, which supports numeric stock number as field one and manufacturer code as field two. The field interpretation in the secondary artifact is therefore contradicted by the displayed source. E0010

The stock-selection form declares stock and uses form-only fields for stock number, manufacturer code, manufacturer name, description, unit price, and unit description. The stock-maintenance form declares stock and manufact, displays Manufacturer, Description, Unit, and Unit Price, and maps its four displayed fields to manufacturer name and stock description, unit, and unit price. E0009

Stock maintenance and stock-list reporting are described as intentionally incomplete in the overall assessment. The source evidence establishes form definitions and data excerpts, but does not establish a complete working maintenance workflow. E0008
