Can you please provide some context - it is unclear what you are asking.

Program control is just another term for an automated control (as opposed to manual control) - see in Chapter 14 these include sequence checks (so that could be of GRNs or GDNs) and edit checks. For inventory, edit checks might be that quantities of goods received can only be whole (integer) numbers and not negative. The system might report automatically, by exception, inventory items that have negative quantities on hand (since this is clearly impossible and must be investigated). Associated with "passwords" there should also be user rights - so sales personnel who need to look up quantities available have "read only" rights and cannot change quantities.
