Open source inventory and supply chain management system

OpenBoxes 0.9.9 turns to purchase-order shipments and pick imports after a summer of data rules.

◆Current state
OpenBoxes is an open-source inventory and supply chain system used by health-facility operators, released roughly quarterly with hotfix branches between. Version 0.9.9 on 27 October improved readability and filtering for purchase-order shipments and pick imports. Earlier in the year 0.9.8 made product import reject unknown categories and patched three GHSA advisories, and 0.9.7 added TransactionSource records for inventory provenance.
◆Where it's heading
The 0.9.x line is working through warehouse workflows one at a time: cycle counts and record stock in spring, import validation in summer, outbound shipments and picking now. Each release tightens how data enters the system rather than adding new modules.
◆Prediction
A 0.9.9 hotfix within weeks is likely, given that every recent minor has been followed by one or more.

    TransactionSource records added across stock and count workflows

    Record stock and create product APIs; localized date patterns

    Adds record stock and create product APIs, localized date pattern support, and automatic database documentation published on schema change. The API additions open the system to integration rather than screen-driven entry alone.
