Build inventory by component
Include product packaging, fasteners, labels, guards, and shipping packaging when in scope. Relate each component to SKU and channel.
Record material, weight, unit of measurement, source and date. Separate measured values from estimates.
Reconcile sales to Portugal
Start from units actually placed on the Portuguese market and handle returns, cancellations, exports and internal movements in a documented manner.
Avoid counting the same unit in a marketplace and your own store or omitting packaging added by a logistics operator.
Approve and freeze the version
Before declaring, review exceptions, assumptions and differences compared to the previous year.
Save the source file, transformation, and submitted output with checksums or versioning.
Conclusion
Framing comes before form. Always link the entity, product, channel, and stream to the applicable official source.
The evidence must be traceable. Store versions, dates, approvals, submissions and documents issued by each external entity.
Third party decisions are not guaranteed. APA, management systems and platforms control their own procedures and results.
