Stock Reason tracking has been added to the Inventory Management system allowing users to setup and record the reason manual stock issues or receipts are made. The additional benefit of this is the ability to record default accounting postings for these reasons so you can be assured that transactions are being posted to the correct account when they are performed. The new Stock Reason setup and maintenance form is shown below:
Then, when performing either Stock Issues or Stock Receipts in OA now you will see a prompt for the Stock Reason as per the sample screen below:
Note on the above screen that a new facility for allocating the “Next” transaction reference number has been included on many of the Inventory transaction processing forms to allow an operator to simply let the system allocate the next transaction number. Un-checking the box allows the user to manually enter a transaction reference as an override facility.
