What's confusing folks here is that this sample datainsert into #sample

select '11003291001-----NOB30000','0V003','A00A00',269,285,305,1 union all

select '11003291001-----NOB30000','03003','A00A00',287,30,305,2

is both an order and a description of the available stock. Split them out and the problem should become a lot easier to understand and code up.

Also [aging stock] and [days]: you're indicating you have 305 units at 269 days and 305 at 287 days, but you've actually got 305 units, correct? This is confusing and requires clarification.
