Questions from operators
Food stock and traceability questions
How supplier lots remain distinct as ingredients move from intake into production.
Can I track more than one supplier lot for the same ingredient?
Yes. Each lot keeps its supplier, code, quantity, dates and location, so stock rotation and traceability do not collapse into one total.
Can Forkto show which lot went into production?
Yes. Operators issue the actual stock batch used, and that movement stays linked to the finished production record.
What happens when stock falls below the operating level?
The low-stock signal stays visible with the resulting purchase action and approval, so the team can review what happened next.
