The Store section is used for inventory planning and control. In Tillypad XL, inventory refers to stock items. Stock items are held in your business's stores.

Below is a list of stock control operations:

  • receipt of goods from suppliers,

  • release of goods to a third party,

  • movement of goods between stores,

  • preparation of meals according to recipes,

  • butchering of raw meat into cuts ready for use in the kitchen, etc.

As a result of all these stock operations, stock on hand changes.

The Store section provides a single location for the management of all stock control activities carried out across the entire organisation.

Stock control functions are as follows:

  • to adjust all stock in and stock out during the processes of production, storage, sale, deduction, and movement between stores, and to document all of the above activities in store records;

  • to relate stock out to stock in and make adjustments to avoid situations when stock out exceeds stock in;

  • to carry out stock monitoring across stores;

  • to configure the process of calculating cost prices and purchase prices, and to calculate and recalculate cost and purchase prices;

  • to set and reset the planned costs of stock items;

  • to run a partial or full stocktaking of stock items;

  • to generate the related documents.

The Store section includes document lists, operational reports, document lists for managing stock item purchases, settings directories, directories, and a group of commands to handle stock operations.

Document lists contain all information related to the stock-in and stock-out operations that take place in stores. The Store section includes the following document lists:

All stock operations except for planned cost calculation change the levels of stock items held in stores.

Document lists are opened from the Store menu of the program's main menu.

Purchase management allows you to organise uninterrupted inflow of stock items and goods and avoid shortages or overstocking.

Purchases are managed in the following document lists:

The Store section enables the user to recalculate stock items and menu items in the specifications of store records and to update the recipes of compound stock items.

Stock items need to be recalculated if any changes are made to the stock items included in specifications. The result of recalculation is immediately reflected in specifications of store documents, which belong to user-defined types. The recalculation of menu items only affects the specifications of sales records. Therefore, this process only edits stock items that are deducted from the store after menu items are sold.

The recipe update operation is intended to make changes to recipes using averaged results from development records.

The Store section enables you to perform the following operations on documents:

These operations are selected in the menu Document operations.

Document filing time

The document filing time is used to determine stock item purchase prices and cost prices.

For some store document types, you can configure a set filing time for each store.

Setting a document filing time allows you to run documents on the store and calculate stock item cost prices without interfering with other tasks.

Filing date and time for a new store record

When you create a document, the Document date displays the current date and time by default. If the store on which the document is created has not yet been determined, the date and time appear in grey.
