What this page is for
A conversion turns one or more items into one or more others, carrying the cost of what went in across to what comes out: a whole chicken cut into portions and stock, or a crate of bottles broken down into singles. Conversions lists every one raised, newest first: its store, how many inputs and outputs it carries, when it was raised and approved.
Every conversion carries the same status as an adjustment:
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft | Being written. Lines can still change. |
| Pending | Submitted; someone else must approve or reject it. |
| Approved | Posted: the inputs are used up and the outputs created as new stock, at their share of the cost. Terminal. |
| Rejected | Refused before anything moved. Terminal. |
The person who raises a conversion can never approve it themselves.
Everyone whose role can view stock sees this page. Raising one needs a role that can operate stock; approving or rejecting needs a role that can approve stock.

Worked examples
Butchery that also roasts meat
Mama Njeri's Butchery breaks a whole carcass down into named cuts. The conversion has one input, the whole carcass, and several outputs: steak cuts, mince and bones for stock, each carrying a share of the carcass's cost.
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar decants a case of 24 bottles into the fridge as single bottles for the bar's own stock-keeping unit. The conversion has one input, the case, and one output, the single bottles, which carries the whole cost because nothing is lost in the repack.
