This is the chapter's reference section, and the longest, because it is the promise of 2.1 kept in writing. Each measure below is defined the way a professional would ask for it: what is summed, over which documents, in which period, in which currency — precisely enough that you could reproduce the figure's meaning from your own records.
Three reading rules apply to every definition:
- Currency. Money measures are in your company's book (functional) currency. A few procurement measures also exist in a document currency version, which adds up the amounts as they appear on the documents themselves; those are only meaningful read one currency at a time, and the definition says so where it matters.
- Quantities are in each product's own stocking unit — the unit the product is stocked in, always named, never assumed.
- Period. Unless a definition says the measure is a position (a photograph taken at the latest snapshot date), it is a flow: the documents dated in the period you are looking at.
The catalogue grows as the product grows; measures are added with their definitions, here, in the same release that ships them.
