• Stock items with an Initial available date that is more than 90 days are set to Current.
• If a Current Stock Item has been manually marked as Replaced, then it is set to Superseded. (UI to come, as per V7.)
• Stock items with an Obsolete date in the past and Stock on hand are set to Mature.
• Stock items with an Obsolete date in the past and no Stock on hand are set to Obsolete.
