What this page is for
This page shows one conversion: its store, its loss reason and note, its Inputs and Outputs, each with its own quantity and, for outputs, its share of cost. Once the conversion is approved, people whose role can see cost also see each line's unit cost and value, and the totals below the details: the inputs' cost, any added cost, the outputs' value, and whatever was written off as a loss.
While it is a draft, it can be edited or deleted. Once pending, someone other than the person who raised it must approve or reject it. Approving takes the inputs out of stock, oldest batches first, costs them, shares that cost across the outputs by their stated proportions, and creates each output as new stock at its share of the cost — all at once, and this cannot be undone. Rejecting asks for a reason and moves nothing.
Everyone whose role can view stock sees this page. Submitting and deleting a draft need a role that can operate stock; approving or rejecting needs a role that can approve stock, and never from the person who raised the document.
How to…

Worked examples
Butchery that also roasts meat
Mama Njeri's Butchery approves a carcass breakdown. The page shows Inputs with the whole carcass at its purchase cost, and Outputs listing steak cuts, mince and bones, each with the unit cost and value its share of the carcass gave it, and a note at the bottom showing the trim loss written off.
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar's manager opens a pending case-to-singles conversion raised by the bar supervisor. She presses Approve conversion; the case is taken off stock and 24 single bottles appear as new stock, each costed at a twenty-fourth of the case's price.
