Overview

  • Stocktakes on PRS can be used to ensure stock levels represented in the system are accurate
  • A physical check of the stock levels is compared to the stock levels represented in PRS for the selected locations
  • Relevant stock movements are then generated to correct any differences between the physical check and the PRS figures
  • Lines that have not changed will still produce a zero quantity stock movement, in order to maintain a record of what has been checked

Desktop

Starting a Stock Take using selected locations

  • Go to Product Management → Stock Locations → Select the Locations to Stocktake → Select the button at the bottom of the list
  • This button is governed by the Security Token "Modify Stock Movements". Ensure it is enabled to make the Stock Take button visible

Using the Stock Take Screen

  • All Stock Holdings for the selected Locations are combined in one list. The columns for this grid are fixed
  • The quantity for each holding is shown as "Original Qty"
  • "Actual Qty" can be typed in to, and is used to fill in quantities observed during the physical stocktake. This is defaulted to 0
  • The "Notes" column can also be edited directly, and will become the notes for each stock movement generated when saved
  • The button can be used to copy over any numbers in "Original Qty" to "Actual Qty"
  • The button can be used to reset "Actual Qty" of all lines to 0
  • The button is the recommended way to generate a sheet for printing out before a stocktake. The generated excel sheet has the same columns as the Stock Take grid

Saving

  • Press the OK button to save (Cancel will lose any unsaved work)
  • Each line in the Stock Take will produce a Stock Movement when the Stock Take is saved
    • Identical quantities will produce a Stock Movement with zero received and zero issued (a transaction to note that this line has been checked, even though nothing has changed)
    • A higher actual quantity will produce a Stock Movement with the difference as the amount received
    • A lower actual quantity will produce a Stock Movement with the difference as the amount issued
    • An actual quantity of zero will produce a Stock Movement that issues the entire amount for the original quantity (that holding is no longer there)
