stock update

[gb]

after doing a stock take, we would like to do a stock update and view descrepancies in selling of the previous stock... I have tried in vain to adjust the stock without any luck, please help

Open the Products / Stock Adjust window.
Enter or scan the stock to be counted.  This will generate a stock list in the window.
After the stock has been counted press the Stock Correction button.  This will set the stock quantity to the counted amount and record any lost stock.

Hi ronaldrwl,

I will try this, can you tell me where I can get the report of stock differences. Does it record when I have adjusted / corrected stock (Date and Difference)?

thanks

[ronaldrwl]

The report is Inventory / Shortages

I'm just about to do this and just wondering what happens when (without realising it) you again scan an already scanned (and counted) item. I imagine that it will refer again to the database rather than bring up where it already appears in the list?

Ummm . . . I guess I could test this rather than ask the question. )

[ronaldrwl]

When you scan the same item twice it increments the count.  Each scan is adding one to the count.

Thanks Ronald.
I'll have the one "scan = 1 count" unchecked (as it's easier to scan once
and manually alter the count to suit). But I see that it will still refer to the new list
and present it for amendment (of the previous scan). Great!

I am trying in vain to adjust the stock. I do not have a scanner on the system... So I take the '1 per scan' checkbox off and enter the amount of stock adjustment. Say it is '1' currently, I want too add 9 to that, so that it will show that I have 10 items in stock.

So I enter '9', then click on 'Stock Correction', then click 'OK' on the 'Change all listed products to counted quantity?', then... click 'OK' on 'Send lost inventory to Shortage file?' and I don't print the change report.

When I view the product after all of this, there is no change, the product quantity still is '1'

Please help, I cannot gauge stock shortages / excesses if this is not working?

On my system the scanner adds the "enter" function after reading the scanned data.

Try this: Enter the quantity, PRESS ENTER, then select stock correction and ok.

Just trying to help.

After you have created a list of product use the "Add Stock From List" to add stock.  The Stock Correction is for counting your stock and making corrections up or down.  For example if you count 3 items the "Stock Correction" will set the stock to 3, not add 3.

I'm also having one heck of a time with this too. I have a product which shows 2 in stock. I only have ONE. So when I enter -1 to the add box, then add the -1 and then hit the stock correction it remains 2 in the inventory.. How do we lower the number?

[ronaldrwl]

Use the Stock Correction button if you are counting all the items.  Use the Add Stock if you are adding stock.
