Something to consider with Stock Correction and Reporting.
« on: March 10, 2017, 01:36:22 PM »
It appears that in doing a stock correction it is nice that if a product has it's stock changed from 2 to 1 that it shows up on the Shortage Record Report.

However, if product is altered to have stock go from 2 up to 5 let's say there is no tracking of that and perhaps that as well should show up in Adjust records reporting.

An even better option is to have ANY adjustment that is done via Stock Correction to have a separate report for Stock Corrections records.

Here's the reason.  In a retail environment where tracking inventory is critical.  A manager can use this feature for Stock Correction to take a product where the system says we have 1 blue hammer when we have 2 blue hammers on hand, and the system says we have 2 red hammer when in fact we only have 1 red hammer on hand.  SO in the end, the physical stock for ALL hammers is correct, at 3 hammers.  But the skus have been mixed up either during a sale or when tagging the hammers and now we need to fix it so it doesn't skew our reordering.

So a manager fixes it via Stock Correction and then should be able to print 1 piece of paper that shows 1 blue hammer was added to the system and at the same time 1 red hammer was removed from the system.  Every month I review shortage records to see why something was shortaged.  In the case of a correction it would be nice to see something was shortaged but the similar thing was added, so they balance each other out.

Hopefully that makes sense and just perhaps something to consider for future updates.  CHEERS!
