Stock in by stock out

Stock in by stock out

Revision History

All store operations involving stock items can be divided into stock-in and stock-out operations.

Stock-in operations are operations that result in a decrease in the stock levels held in stores. Stock-out operations are stored in return delivery notes, stock-out records, stock movement records, stock adjustment records, production records, butchering records, stocktaking records, development records, and sales records.

Stock-in operations are operations that result in an increase in the stock levels held in stores. Stock-in operations are stored in stock-in records, stock movement records, stock adjustment records, production records, butchering records, and stocktaking records.

Receipt of new stock items must compensate for consumption of their older counterparts. One stock-out operation (stock-out item in a store document specification) can be accompanied by more than one stock-in operation (stock-in items in a store document specification).

The cost price feature of stock items added to the store allows you to find the total cost price of the consumed amount of stock items.

For example, say 5 kg of potatoes were used, according to a production record. This usage can be compensated for by 3 kg of potatoes from a stock-in record (at the cost price of 75p per 1 kg) and 2 kg from a stock movement record (at the cost price of 90p per 1 kg). The calculated cost price of the used potatoes will be:

Equation 7.1. 

(3*75+2*90)/5=81p per kilo.


The Stock in by stock out operational report contains information on the stock-in documents used to compensate for the used amount of stock. It also enables the user to find out the cost price of used stock items (on the basis of stock-in document specifications, the cost prices of these stock items, and the amount of the delivered stock item intended to compensate for its usage).

The operational report helps to find errors in store documents and to control whether stock items are correctly used and deducted from the store.
