Record why stock leaves the store: a sale, internal use or the fulfilment of a bill. Choosing the correct action keeps quantity movements connected to the business event behind them.
Match the action to the movement
Dispensing records non-sale stock issues, such as internal consumption or donations. Selling Items uses the sales workflow with prices and discounts. Load Bill supports the warehouse side of a bill by identifying what needs to be picked and who collects it. These workflows serve different purposes, so review the source document and current status before recording a movement.
Step by step
Dispense non-sale items
Choose the items, quantities, recipient and useful notes. Review the batch selection: FIFO is the default, with manual selection available when needed.
Record a sale
Use Sell Items for a customer sale. Confirm quantities, prices and discounts, then complete the transaction through the sales workflow.
Load the bill for picking
Find the relevant bill by its ID or barcode. Review the listed products and record picked items using the available checkboxes and comments.
Document the handover
Record collector and storekeeper details where required and review the timestamps. Use comments to explain shortages or other differences between the bill and the physical handover.
A useful movement record explains the recipient, purpose and source document as well as the quantity.
Before you move on
- Use dispensing for non-sale issues and sales for customer purchases.
