# Authorities are uncertain which work was written first, Kessef Mishneh or Beit Yosef.

It's certainly possible, though, that he worked on both simultaneously and therefore referenced the Kessef Mishneh manuscript in Beit Yosef.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei HaKessef Mishneh 1-2)</ref> The Chidah disproves this claim, because the first printing of Beit Yosef was in 5310, and Kessef Mishneh was complete but not printed until the end of Rav Yosef Karo's life. As long as he was alive, he continued to work on the Sefer, and he passed away in middle of the printing endeavor.<ref>Shem HaGedolim (Sefarim, Maarechet Bet Ot 59, Maarechet Kaf Ot 50), Matnat Yado fn. 17.

# The Kenesset HaGedolah laments how sometimes the Beit Yosef will quote another Rishon quoting the Rambam, when the Rambam's ruling is already written explicitly. He suggests that the secondary source must have added an additional dimension to the idea to warrant its inclusion.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei Beit Yosef 35)</ref>
# Rav Yosef Karo usually rules stringently by Safek DeOraita, so it's astonishing when he doesn't.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei Beit Yosef 36)</ref>
# The Beit Yosef does not employ the mechanism of Kim Li to determine a ruling but rather, if none of the three Amudei Horaah elicits an opinion, he finds one of the commonly accepted Poskim ("Mefursamim") who did and rules like him. Some take issue with his exclusion of Kim Li in favor of his Amudei Horaah rule in monetary cases.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei Beit Yosef 38)</ref>
=== Bedek HaBayit ===
# When faced with a Bedek HaBayit that permits something prohibited in the Beit Yosef, the Kenesset HaGedolah argues it doesn't indicate retraction: the Beit Yosef is a comprehensive compilation of all the opinions, so he was just filling it in but doesn't necessarily hold of it.<ref>Yad Malachi (Klalei Beit Yosef 37)</ref>
