ORDINAL DOCTRINE

ORDINAL 01 · ORDINAL STOCK

Inventory from movements, not guesses.

A Notion inventory template for small manufacturers that need a reliable answer to what is where and how much—without adopting a full warehouse system first.

PRODUCT ARCHITECTURE

Four connected records produce one dependable stock view.

01

Item register

Keep the name and code people already recognize. Add a neutral internal identity when no stable code exists.

Internal ID · Existing code · Name · Unit
02

Locations

Define the physical places that matter now, from incoming inspection to material rack and work-in-process.

Location ID · Name · Type · Owner
03

Movements

Record receipt, issue, transfer, return and count adjustment as events. Never type over a balance.

Date · Type · Quantity · From / to · Reference
04

Working views

Current quantity, low stock and count differences are derived from the same movement ledger.

On hand · Reserved · Available · Exception

SYSTEM LOGIC

The rules that keep a simple tool trustworthy.

  1. 01

    Current quantity is calculated from movement records; it is not an editable source value.

  2. 02

    A transfer creates two linked sides—out of one location and into another—so quantity cannot disappear silently.

  3. 03

    A physical count difference becomes an adjustment record with a reason, not an overwritten number.

  4. 04

    Similar names or codes are flagged for review and are never merged automatically.

ROLE-BASED USE

Each role sees only the work it owns.
