What the video walks through

Stock across the main distribution center and a northern branch, organized by bins with capacity tracking.
FIFO cost layers for high-value power tools, with the rest of the catalog on weighted average cost.
Supplier scorecards that rank vendors on on-time delivery and GRN variance.
Starter kits bundled for the retail counter, and serial numbers tracked for laser meters.
Order to cash: purchase orders with quantity variances, partial customer payments and tax filings, all posting to the general ledger.
A walk-in sale at the counter that raises a low-stock alert for the buying team.

What this shows

Stock, money, customers and suppliers stay in step because every purchase, transfer and sale updates the same ledger and stock records.
