Stock gets overwritten
When the figure is wrong, someone types in the right one. Why it was wrong can no longer be worked out.
Industries Warehouse and logistics
Stock you can explain.
A stock level is only as good as the postings behind it. I build stock keeping in which every receipt, withdrawal and correction has a record. When a figure is wrong, it leads straight to the transaction that caused it.
Typical situations
When a conversation makes sense.
Delivery notes on the desk
Receipts are collected and typed in later. Until then the system shows too little stock.
Inventory as a major event
Stock is counted once a year, and the differences are written off in bulk.
Overflow and leftovers
Whatever does not fit the intended location ends up somewhere and never appears in the system.
Building blocks
What I build for it
Goods receipt with a record
Deliveries are posted on arrival and assigned to a storage location.
Stock over time
For every location you can see when which quantity came and went.
Inventory and reconciliation
Counts are posted as a reconciliation. The difference stays visible as its own transaction.
Open items
Quantities that cannot be assigned at once stay as an open item until they are settled.
