FAQs

What is the administrative purpose of listing place/time, headings, marks, measures, deposits, and containers together?

It creates a multi-factor audit trail: documentary consistency (headings/sequence/orders) plus physical verification (marks/measures/containers) plus custody controls (deposits/safeguarding).

What does nīvī mean here?

The carried-forward balance—stock or value remaining on hand—reconciled from records and physical verification.
