Terminology

Rename internal concepts to the words your business already uses
Active section
Suppliers use different names for the same concept — one yard calls it a Lot, another an A-Frame, another a Bay. Vava keeps a fixed internal system name, and the whole UI (menus, forms, receiving, reports) displays your chosen label instead.
Internal Concept Internal System Name Client-Facing Label Where It Appears
Batch / Lot Grouping layer — not a product
Commercial Group Stock receiving, bundles, grouping
Warehouse / Yard Storage area inside a location
Storage Facility Warehouses & Yards, stock location
Rack / A-Frame Structure that holds slabs / stock
Storage Structure Warehouse layout, slab storage
Bin / Position Exact slot a piece sits in
Storage Slot Rack detail, slab position

Changing a label is logged to the Activity / Audit trail and takes effect across every screen immediately. Internal system names never change, so imports and API integrations stay stable.

Stock Statuses

Lifecycle states a piece can hold
Draft Available Reserved / Held Partially Reserved On Hold Damaged Hidden Archived

These are internal-only lifecycle states — they track storage and availability, not transacting. Historical unavailable stock can only arrive via import.
