MERIDIAN INVENTORY RECONCILIATION SAMPLE
All 12 input records are synthetic. No client information is included.

RESULT
8 records retained; 1 exact duplicate excluded with its related source ID;
3 records excluded pending clarification. All 12 source IDs are accounted for.
Retained quantity: 1,251 units. Retained extended cost: USD 840.15.
This subtotal excludes unresolved rows and is not a valuation of the full input.

CHANGES
I02: trimmed and capitalized item code; capitalized location.
I08: removed quantity thousands separator.
I04 duplicates I03. I05 lacks a quantity. I06 has a negative quantity.
I07 has excess monetary precision; no rounding or replacement is assumed.

FILES
inventory-input.csv: unchanged source records.
inventory-corrected.csv: accepted rows and computed extended costs.
inventory-exceptions.csv: every excluded source ID and its reason.
inventory-changes.csv: before and after values for normalization.
inventory-data-dictionary.json: field definitions and transformation rules.

Scope: this example validates row format and exact duplicates. It does not
verify physical stock, source prices, product identity or conflicting counts
in other files. Resolve the three exceptions before valuing all inventory.
