The stock description entry is used to identify linked stock. The descriptions are automatically made all upper case, to clearly differentiate them from product descriptions, and a suggested entry is supplied as a default, composed from the product description. After filling in the stock description, or just accepting the default value, press the Enter key. The Stock quantity box would normally be left at zero for new stock if this dialog has been generated by a stock entry procedure. If it has been generated from the sales screen or from starting stock entry, the value can be filled in. Stock minimum is normally set to zero. A higher value should ensure that the stock level should never fall below that value. The Default case size and Default supplier are used to enable ordering of stock that did not originally arrive in a case, such as where a rep leaves a few bars of a new line of chocolate. Filling these in will ensure that they will be re-ordered when the stock is gone. The Department is self-explanatory; after selection, the Vat rate will be set to the default for the department. If this is not correct, then change it as required. A separate Vat rate has been set up for videos, even though these incur standard rate in the UK. The next drop down box allows a choice between four options; Excluded from stock take, Included in stock take (the default), Other peoples stock, and Videos. Most stock is of course included in any stock take. The option Other peoples stock, allows for a separate value to be calculated for stock that is put into the shop but not paid for until sold. Videos for rent have to be treated separately, as a rental does not decrease the stock level. Certain other items have to be excluded from any stock take. One example would be photocopies. Finally, the check box Stopped will stop the item being ordered again when depleted. [Previous] [Main] [Next] |
