This routine allows to fix the differences in the balance of products in stock properly.

This type of control uses a physical recount of products and compares the results obtained in this counting with the balances provided automatically by the System, allowing several types of Product Balance control.

Following are a few basic procedures for running Inventory routine:

Generation of labels with definition of the branch, warehouses, products, types, groups and number.
Generation of the Inventory Report containing the items registered by the system, in addition to a space for manually entering the quantities counted.
Inventory Block, which allows to block the stock movements with products being inventoried, on a date established and entered.
Inventory elaboration by user, who then enters the quantities inventoried.
Generation of the inventory checklist, where all the differences detected are displayed.

If any difference is found between the information recorded and the inventoried, use h routine Inventory Adjustment, to generate automatically the requests or returns, necessary to the adjustment.

The amounts inventoried are entered according to the warehouse. Thus, it is possible to calculate automatically the adjustment to be made in the products stock. Inventory of products in process is treated in Warehouse 99.

When a product uses the trackability , the numbers of the lots must be entered to adjust the quantities in each lot separately. When the product uses addressing control, the address and/or serial number must be entered.

To reverse the addition of an inventory, just delete it. Since the routine does not update stock, the item inventoried can be deleted without causing any impact on the stock.

Tip:

The Inventory routine does not update stocks, it only informs the amounts inventoried. To update them, you need to run the routine Inventory Adjustment.

Multiple Countings in Inventory Typing

When typing the inventory, you can make various countings. This way, you can select the counting to be used when processing the routine Inventory Adjustment.

This feature helps companies that count more then once to ensure the real quantities of inventoried items.

Tip:

Selection process in inventory multiple counting can be done automatically, using Sel. autom., available in the inventory routine maintenance window.

Rotating Inventory

To use rotating inventory, you must enter the field Per. Inventory (Periodicity of Inventory), which defines, in days, the periodicity in which you must count a specific item in stock.

Example:

Product A must be inventoried every 120 days.

From this definition, the date of inventory becomes very important because the system calculates the balance to be inventoried from the date entered in the field Invent. on.

To adjust inventory, you must run the Inventory Adjustment routine. However, you must first ensure that all the transaction before the inventory have already been entered.

Tip:

The records valid for the inventory are that entered in the Inventory file on the effective processing, that is, if the quantity inventoried of a product is null, type 0 for it.
