Stock Take
Stock Take
It is vitally important the stock takes are performed regularly. The purpose of performing stock takes is to ensure that stock
hasn't expired, that stock levels are as they should be in relation to their recorded usage, and that pilfering does not occur.
A stock take sheet can be printed from the stock take function in WXStock . The stock take sheet shows the stock item,
batch and expiry information, but does not show the expected stock quantity. The expected stock quantity on hand is not
shown so as to ensure that stock is counted without expectation of quantity.
Stock items are counted and recorded manually into the stock take sheet. Once all the stock has been counted,
G the stock quantities are entered into the system. It is vitally important that all stock take discrepancies are
recorded. A reason must be recorded for each stock take discrepancy.
When you print a stock take sheet, items that have been depleted will still show until you enter a zero for the quantity in the
stock take. The item will then be flagged internally as depleted and will not appear on the stock sheet in future.

Stock Usage
The purpose of this section is to monitor the actual usage of stock. When a person removes stock from a store to be used
in the lab then the quantity is recorded in this section.
When in browse mode the user will see the last entries for the stock items that were entered for the day.
If the user clicks the insert button the value shown in the opening balance will be the current stock on hand value for the
batch specified.

Stock Usage
A screen now appears that has the full stock list of the specified stock sheet.
Please note :
Previously the system automatically set stock to depleted. This function has been removed and the user should
now manually set the stock to depleted by using the Stock-take function. This has been done to allow users to enter
stock used even if the balance of the stock is incorrectly set on the system. E.g. the user received a quantity of 100
for a specific stock item, but incorrectly entered a quantity of 10, thus omitting one zero. Previously, if a user then
physically used more than 10 of that item the system would not have allowed the user to enter a quantity of more
than 10. Please use the Incorrect Balance report to pick up discrepancies where the quantity used is more than the
quantity on hand and correct the stock on-hand with the stock-take function..
