Unit Summary
The purpose of assessment for this unit is to gather evidence of the student’s competence
against the elements, as well as skills and underpinning knowledge, required to Control Stock.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to process stock
orders, maintain stock levels, minimise stock losses, manage stocktakes and maintain all
documents that relate to the administration of any type of stock.
The unit applies to all tourism, travel, hospitality and event sectors. The unit is relevant to
organisations where stock control is an integral and essential part of business operations, and
where there are complex ordering and control issues to be considered. The unit is not appropriate
for situations where stock management is very simple, such as controlling stationery supplies in a
small office.
The unit applies to stock control personnel who operate independently, have responsibility for
others and make a range of decisions on the overall administration of stock.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the
time of publication.
4. Follow-up orders.

VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 8
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
To achieve competency, you must satisfactorily complete all assessment tasks within the date and
time allotted by your assessor/trainer. This will demonstrate that you have all the required skills,
knowledge for this unit. An overview of the skills and knowledge to be assessed in this unit is
provided in this Assessment Guide.
Students who present copied or plagiarised assessments are considered participants in the act of
academic misconduct which would lead to disqualification of their submitted work. (Read the
section on Plagiarism and Assessment Dishonesty below.)
The assessments are intended to be equitable, fair and flexible. All the information, skills and
knowledge being assessed by the assessments has been based on theory and skills delivered to you
during classes and meet the requirements of the unit of competency.
Submitting Assessment Tasks
You must submit assessment tasks with the provided cover sheet.
ALL tasks must be completed in legible English. It is preferable that tasks submitted for assessment
are typed. Where this is not possible or where room is provided on a paper for short answers, you
must write clearly. Unreadable assessment tasks will be returned unmarked.
You must submit assessments on or before their due date. Extensions for individual assessment
tasks may be negotiated in specific circumstances according to VCI’s Policy and Procedures. To
arrange an extension, you must speak to your assessor prior to the due date. Extensions due to
illness will require a medical certificate. Extensions must be confirmed by trainers in writing.
Assessment Outcomes
There are two outcomes of assessments: S = Satisfactory and NYS = Not Yet Satisfactory (requires
more training and experience).
You will be awarded C = Competent on completion of the unit when your assessor is satisfied that
you have completed all assessments and have provided the appropriate evidence required to meet
all criteria. If you fail to meet this requirement you will receive the result NYC = Not Yet Competent
and will be eligible to be re-assessed in accordance with the VCI’s policies and procedures.
Re-assessment
Students will be allowed to sit for up to two further attempts at a practical assessment item or test
question for which the outcome is Not Yet Satisfactory within the timeframe of a course (unit of
competency). Students judged as NYS in an assessment will be allowed to resubmit if they have
attended all practical classes for the related unit.

Appeals
If you are not happy with your results:
1. Your assessment may be reassessed upon appeal
2. Your assessor/trainer may provide you with alternate options of assessment in order to gain
competency depending on initial results
3. If you are still unhappy about your assessment results after following the steps mentioned
above, you may submit a formal complaint in accordance with VCI’s Complaints and Appeals
Policy.
Plagiarism and Assessment Dishonesty
The New York College (VCI) is committed to ensuring that all students behave with integrity when
undertaking an assessment. Therefore, it is essential that you understand the principles underlying
assessment integrity and behave in a manner according to these principles.
Please read the following information and please ensure you have access to and have read the
plagiarism and assessment dishonesty policy. This policy can be found on the VCI’s website and is
also discussed in your orientation prior to commencing the course.
What is Plagiarism and Assessment Dishonesty?
Plagiarism is copying, paraphrasing or summarising, without appropriate acknowledgement, the
words, ideas, scholarship and intellectual property of another person. This remains plagiarism
whether or not it is with the knowledge or consent of that other person. Plagiarism has also taken
place when direct use of others' words is not indicated, for example by inverted commas or
indentation, in addition to appropriate citation of the source.
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 10
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
Each individual student is responsible for ensuring that they are fully informed about methods of
acknowledgement appropriate to any piece of assessable work that they submit.
Assessment dishonesty includes plagiarism, collusion, the fabrication or deliberate
misrepresentation of data, and failure to adhere to the rules regarding examinations in such a way
as to gain unfair assessment advantage.
Collusion is the involvement of more than one individual in an instance of assessment dishonesty. All
parties involved in such collusion are in breach of the principles of assessment honesty (unless there
is good evidence of innocent involvement). "Collusion" needs to be distinguished from
"collaboration", defined for the purposes of this document as work jointly undertaken and
produced.
How information will be handled: All information regarding an incident of plagiarism or assessment
dishonesty will be recorded as per VCI’s Plagiarism and Assessment Dishonesty Policy. Only relevant
staff members will be given access to the information as required by state and federal privacy laws.
I have read and understand the information provided above and also understand and accept that
any act of plagiarism and academic dishonesty may have penalties including cancellation or
suspension of my enrolment with New York College. I further declare that:
All assessment work submitted for this unit competency is my own original work and plagiarism
and collusion has not occurred.
Assessment work is not copied nor has not been submitted for any other unit/course.
I have taken proper care and effort to ensure my work has not been copied by another person.
I understand the consequences of engaging in plagiarism as described in VCI’s Plagiarism and
Assessment Dishonesty Policy and I have obtained and read the Plagiarism and Assessment
Dishonesty Policy.

VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 15
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
Assessment 1
Short Answer Questions
Question 1: List 6 examples of forms that are used in a manual control system.
Measure performance and ensure that the proper steps and processes are taken to ensure
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 16
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
that the firm is on track to meet its objectives through the monitor and control process.
A non-competitive, covert, and occasionally unlawful agreement between competitors with the
goal of disturbing the market's equilibrium is called collusion. When parties that would typically
compete with one another choose to work together instead in order to gain an unfair competitive
advantage, this is called collusion.
Question 5: Why is it important that both the person responsible for placing orders and the
ordering process must be very clear to staff?
Efficiency: Clear communication of the ordering process and the person responsible for placing orders
ensures that staff can efficiently request and receive the goods or services they need. This helps to
avoid delays in the procurement process, which can impact productivity and customer satisfaction.
Accuracy: When staff have a clear understanding of the ordering process and the person responsible for
placing orders, they are less likely to make mistakes when placing orders. This can help to reduce
errors, such as incorrect quantities or items, which can result in additional costs, delays, and even lost
business.
Accountability: By clearly defining the ordering process and the person responsible for placing orders, it
establishes accountability for the procurement function. This can help to ensure that staff are aware of
their roles and responsibilities when ordering goods or services and that there is a clear line of
responsibility in case of any issues or errors.
Compliance: In some industries, there may be specific regulations or policies related to procurement
and ordering processes. By clearly communicating these requirements to staff, businesses can ensure
that they are complying with any relevant regulations or policies and avoiding any potential legal or
financial consequences.
Question 6: What is the name of the stock control method which is most commonly used in the
TH&E industry and involves recording data continuously on both the amount of
stock on hand and the cost price of items in the storeroom.
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 17
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
The stock control method that is most commonly used in the Tourism, Hospitality and Events
(TH&E) industry, which involves recording data continuously on both the amount of stock on hand
and the cost price of items in the storeroom, is known as the perpetual inventory system.In this
system, each item in the inventory is tracked in real-time, with regular updates made to reflect
changes in stock levels due to sales, returns, or stocktakes. This allows businesses to have a more
accurate picture of their inventory levels and value at any given time, and to quickly identify any
discrepancies or issues that may arise. The perpetual inventory system can be used in conjunction
with other stock control methods, such as minimum stock levels and reorder points, to help
ensure that businesses have the right amount of stock on hand to meet customer demand while
minimizing the risk of overstocking or stockouts.
Question 7: Why is it necessary to identify and report on slow moving stock items?
It assists in preventing waste, spoilage, and unforeseen expenses. Limiting infrequently used substances also
aids in space liberation.
Question 8: List 4 methods you can use to identify slow moving stock items.
Question 10: Give 2 examples of factors which affect the maintenance of stock levels.
1. Consumer suppliers: For instance, when customers purchase massive quantities of soap, the supply is
improperly managed.
2. Financials: If suppliers alter their price demands, the budget overflow results in a decrease in
inventories.
Question 11: There are 6 stages to the receiving process. There are 4 listed below, name the
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 18
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
other 2.
Deliveries should be checked against the purchase order to determine if the order is
correct and complete.
The invoice or delivery note should be signed to accept financial liability.
Received goods should be moved into appropriate storage areas.
Receipt documentation should be completed.
1. Refuse to accept products that are faulty or do not adhere to the product requirements. Obtain a
credit note or amend the paperwork.
2. Fill out and submit the papers.
Question 12: What are the recommended storage conditions for the following stock items?
Frozen items The time it takes for food to freeze and the freezer's temperature both
affect the quality of frozen foods. Once kept, frozen objects must never be
thawed and then re-frozen again. Frozen items must be stored as soon as
they are received.
Meat Frozen foods like meat and fish should ideally be kept apart from one
another in storage. Storage must be done at or below -18 °C.
Seafood can be accomplished by placing fresh fish on perforated drip trays that has
been packed in ice. Daily ice replacement is required, and fish shouldn't
come into direct touch with it. Temperature for storage is 1-2 °C.
Fruit and Veg Keep fruit and vegetables apart while storing them, and periodically
inspect containers for pests. Fruit and vegetables should be stored at a
temperature of 6 to 8 °C. Some vegetables, like potatoes or pumpkin, can
be temporarily preserved in a dry storage facility.
Dairy products Dairy products, especially those with strong scents like strong-smelling
cheeses, must be stored separately from other things. This is so that the
flavours of other foods can be absorbed by dairy products.For storing
storage, dairy products should be kept between 2-4°C. Before selling,
cheeses should be brought to room temperature to allow for the
development of deeper flavours and tastes.
Chemicals Chemical storage areas should be properly aired and are often not situated
close to other storage locations. Chemicals are frequently kept in a
lockable cabinet. Chemicals should always be kept in a container that has
all appropriate warning labels and is clearly marked. The recommended
holding storage temperature for chemicals is between 14 and 20 °C,
although the SDS for the chemicals should also be consulted.
Paper Paper goods shouldn't be kept in the same stock as anything that could
contaminate, discolour, or spoil them.Products made of paper shouldn't be
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 19
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
kept in areas where they could get direct sunlight. Paper products that
have been stored are a perfect place for insects and other pests to breed
and build nests. As a result, anything that can draw pests should be kept
out of this storage area. Temperature for storage is 20–22 °C.
Question 13: Give 4 examples of things that can cause stock losses.
Question 17: What steps should you take if you encounter a routine supply problem?
It will be easy for both sides to comprehend the outcomes if you immediately inform the provider,
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 20
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
thoroughly describe the problem, make a note of any prospective fixes, and gain their approval.
Question 18: List 2 procedures you can use for issuing stock?
1. Stores staff completes the request and it is prepared for pickup or delivery.
2. If necessary, orders are placed after checking the par stock levels.
1. Plan your stock takes in advance to minimize the impact on business operations.
2. Prior to taking a stock, clean and organise your stockroom.
3. Prepare in advance by organizing your stocktaking tools.
4. Use only the most recent inventory data.
Question 22: List 5 pieces of information you might find on a stocktake report.
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 21
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
Question 23: If the cost of goods sold for Canadian Club Whiskey is $240,000 per year, and the
average stock held is $10,000, what should be the re-order point for placing an
order? (without considering the delivery time for this calculation)
Handheld electronic bar coding devices and point of sale (POS) equipment are examples of the
electronic equipment types utilised for stock control. These are utilised as a component of a stock
control system that continuously monitors stock amounts and stock movement.

Task 1
Stock Control
You have been recruited as a new assistant to the purchasing officer at the Hotel Futura. As a part of
your new role you are required to perform calculations to check the accuracy of the stock records
and the costs, analyse stock records and identify any discrepancies and report to your supervisor.
For this task you are provided with the following file – SITXINV004 Assessment 2 Task 1 Stocktake
spread sheet file that provides you with the data on the stock.
You are provided with the following figures (highlighted in red) for the stock on hand for items. You
need to enter these figures into your stocktake sheet (refer and use the above excel spread sheet) to
perform calculations so that you can establish the value of the individual stock items as well as
provide a total value of all stock items on hand.
Dairy
Cream Thickened 0.600 L $ 1.52 2
Milk Full cream 1.000 L $ 1.18 5
Butter Salted 0.500 kg $ 1.82 0
Butter Unsalted 0.500 kg $ 2.23 1
Cheese Cheddar 1.000 kg $ 8.55 4
Seafood
Trout Whole - 300g 1.000 each $ 3.20 6
Prawns Cooked Medium 1.000 kg $ 18.50 2
Oysters Pacific shucked 1.000 Dozen $ 6.80 5
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 32
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
Task 2
For this task you are provided with the spreadsheet file “SITXINV004 Assessment 2 Task 2”
The figures in these reports are different to the figures in the actual calculation spread sheet.
Therefore, your task is to identify and correct these discrepancies in the spread sheet.
You are required to check the data that has been entered in this spread sheet based on the latest
stock report, because your supervisor has expressed concerns that there are discrepancies. These
could be related to the price of the stock item or the quantity of the stock item. You need to identify
the correct stock discrepancy and correct the figures so that all the figures tally with the final totals
in each report.
You need to write a brief summary report to explain the potential reasons for these discrepancies
and how impact on the total figures as well as the availability of these stock items in relation to
maintaining and controlling stock.
1. Open the spreadsheet and identify all missing values in the opening stock column in each tab
(Fridge, Freezer and Dry Store).
2. Complete the opening stock values based on any movements (Invoice = delivered, Out =
used) or based on the closing stock values, i.e. if the closing value shows 5 and there were
no movements, then enter 5 in the opening stock column where the value was missing. If
there was a stock movement this needs to be calculated before entering the missing value in
the opening stock column, i.e. if closing shows 6 and invoice shows 5, then the opening stock
would have been 1. You will now notice that most entries you made have corrected the
values in the discrepancy columns to 0
3. List 3 factors you would investigate where a value in the discrepancy column shows a
negative.
4. Go to the tab “Fridge” and investigate the reasons for the discrepancies in Rows 8, 38, 83
and 89. Go to the tab “Dry Store” and investigate Row 65.
5. What are the likely problems that have resulted in these faults? Correct these faults
according to your findings by adjusting the relevant values, if possible.
6. Go to the tab “Consolidated Total” and calculate how your adjustments from Question 5
above have affected the totals for each storage area and the total sum.
Error in data entry (wrong numbers, decimals in wrong place, opening balance not entered, stock
issued but it was actually invoice)
VCI_SITXINV004_V.1.0 Page 33
SITXINV004 Control stocks Student Assessment Tool
Example 1
For example an error could relate to the fact that the original opening stock was not entered as
highlighted [in yellow]. No stock was received (invoice) or issued (out), therefore you would enter
the value of the closing stock in the opening stock column.

Example 2
An item shows in the opening balance 0.5 boxes and 0.5 boxes in the sub-total, but 1.5 boxes in the
closing balance. This would require you to check whether there was an invoice. If not then you could
check on the last stocktake and if that shows that the value there showed 0.5 boxes, then the value
1.5 likely is to be 0.5 boxes. As you have no prior documentation you would highlight this but make
no changes.

(consider chocolates, alcohol, prime cuts etc.), the opening balance was incorrect or an item was
actually invoice rather than out or vice versa.

8. Attach all documentation and reports for the stock life cycle to this assessment.
Produce a final report reporting on the completed stock life cycle summarising any discrepancies and
recommendations or future improvements (suitable to present to your colleagues)
The stocktake is crucial because it highlights inconsistencies between inventory records and the
actual amount of stock we have on hand. These problems enable us to grow our company more
profitably and get rid of any potential sources of stock loss or inaccurate counts.
• Recount the relevant stock. If the figures don't add up, we should start here. It can just be an error
made during the first counting procedure.
