Update Doc Columns
Select the tick boxes of what you would like to update in you Stock order
| Include Purchase Orders Created | When creating a Stock Order, it's essential to know the quantities of each item already on Purchase Orders to avoid duplication. This is particularly crucial when multiple individuals are handling purchase orders. |
| Include Purchase Orders Approval | Since Stock Orders display only the snapshot of stock quantities at the time of their creation, it's useful to know which orders have been approved since then to avoid duplications. This is important as Stock Orders can remain open for days, or even weeks. |
| Sales Orders | When creating a Stock Order, it's important to know the quantities of each item allocated to open sales orders. This helps ensure you order enough stock to fulfill all open sales orders and maintain sufficient inventory for future orders. |
| Current Sales Included in Last Month | This is useful for forecasting future sales orders and determining an average quantity to order. |
| Range | You can analyze data from the past 3 or 6 months and choose to include the current month if it affects the figures. There is also an option to select Custom Dates. |
| Date From / To | If you select a Custom Date, you can then select you From and To dates to pull the data from. |
| Average | You can choose to pull an average figure of sales over the time period selected. |
| On Hand Qty Other Warehouses | You can select to pull the overall quantity you have on hand and in multiple warehouses as this order is only based on the selected warehouse. |
| Update Onhand Value | When the Stock order was created, it would have pulled quantity figures at that specific time. If this Stock order has been open for a week or multiple weeks that figure may have changed and by selecting this, you will get an updated quantity onhand. |
Once you have selected your criteria you a click "Continue" which will then run the query for all these columns in your Stock Order with your sales trends allowing you to make an informed decision when placing an order.
Update WIP
WIP looks at all Work in progress, and what stock is still to go out or allocated.
| Jobs Started | Inventory allocated to a job may still appear as in stock; however, it is no longer available. The stock levels will be updated once the job is invoiced. This will only be applicable if you use jobs. |
| Jobs Not Started | Same with Jobs not started, Inventory allocated to a job may still appear as in stock; however, it is no longer available. The stock levels will be updated once the job is invoiced. This will only be applicable if you use jobs. |
| BOMS | A Bill of Materials (BOM) will accumulate items until they are invoiced. It does not remove the stock from inventory but merely allocates it to the BOM. When managing inventory, it's important to understand this process to get an accurate view of current available stock. By ticking this box you will know the true quantity of stock on hand. This will only be applicable if you use BOMS. |
| Sales Orders | This is where stock is allocated but not yet dispatched, which can make it appear as current stock. However, this can be misleading as the stock is still pending shipment. This will only be applicable if you use Sales Orders. |
Update Forecast Values
| Current Date | Typically, you would use today's date. However, if today is too early in the month, it may skew the figures when forecasting over several months. |
| Current Forecast | Here you can select to forecast for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 months. This will give us an idea on what we should order based on the past however many months we have chosen. |
| Growth % Month Ahead | A growth percentage forecast looks at the upcoming month and estimates the expected increase percentage based on the current forecast. For example, if we sold 10 units in the past 5 months and expect a 50% increase, we should sell 3 units per month for the next 5 month and therefore would need 15 items in stock. |
| Forecast Period | The Forecast Period examines the period following the Growth Forecast mentioned above. In the example where we looked at 5 months, this forecast period allows us to extend the analysis to an additional 3 or 6 months. |
| Growth % Forecast Ahead | This forecast will examine the additional 3 or 6 months of growth percentage following our initial prediction of a 50% increase over the first 5 months. For example, we predict a further 10% increase in the 3-6 months following the initial 5-month 50% increase. |
You now need to determine which calculation you wish to apply in order to update the required order quantities for each item.
The order quantities applied to each respective item can be determined from a number of options:
Click the Update Qty drop down to see the list of options:
| Max Value | Populates the order quantities to equal the Maximum qty as per item setup |
| Preferred Value | Populate the order quantities to equal the Preferred Quantity as per item setup |
| Min Order Qty (MOQ) |
Will populate the Order Quantities to equal Minimum order quantity as per item setup. Note the Minimum quantity and the Minimum order Quantity are different Minimum quantity is the minimum holding quantity. Minimum order quantity is the minimum quantity that can be ordered from the supplier. |
| Order To Max + Purchase From On Hand | Populates the order quantities to be Item Maximum Qty less Qty on Hand less qty on open Purchase orders |
| Order To Max From On Hand | The difference between the maximum quantity and the on hand quantity |
| Order To Preferred From On Hand | The difference between the Preferred item Quantity and the on hand quantity |
| Order To Reorder From On Hand | |
| Order to Job From On Hand | |
| Order To BOM (Bill of Material) From On Hand | |
| The difference between the Reorder quantity and the quantity on hand |
In this example, we are going to be using the Reorder from on hand option This will calculate the difference between the Reorder level on the item setup and the current on hand quantity. And update the order quantity on this batch with this difference. |
The Difference between the Reorder quantity and the Quantity on hand

After the receive stock has been completed, the document will change status to Delivery note, where one can match the Delivery note to the actual supplier invoice.
Should there be any changes to the delivery note price to the supplier price, one can amend and change the price of the items.
Only price changes can be made, quantities cannot be changed.
Amending the price of an item, changing the price from a unit cost of 10.00 to a unit cost of 15.00, that means an increase in price change of 5.00. This change will update the ledger account called Cost Price Variance.
The Delivery note can be processed.
Two things will happen.
GRV will be created, processed and the delivery note general ledger account is balanced
General Ledger postings for Delivery Note
There are two stages to the General Ledger postings for Delivery note to Supplier Invoice (GRV)
When stock is received without the supplier invoice, one can receive the stock into the system.
The cost price of the stock will be based on the Purchase Order value.
VAT / GST is not taken into account until the supplier invoice is captured.
The creditors delivery note value is the potential value owed to a supplier based on goods received without an invoice.
See ledger accounts updated.
| Account | Debit | Credit |
| Creditors Delivery Note | 50.00 | |
| Stock control account | 50 |
When the invoice is received, check the invoice against the value of the purchase order. If there is a difference capture the value difference in the delivery note confirmation screen.
Process the delivery note to a supplier Invoice (GRV).
After you have processed the delivery note, the amount will appear on your Creditors age analysis.
The cost price variance account will only update IF the value between the purchase order and the supplier invoice are different.
See ledger accounts updated.
| Account | Debit | Credit |
| Creditors Control Account | 57.50 | |
| Creditors Delivery Note | 50.00 | |
| VAT / GST Control | 7.50 | |
| Cost Price Variance |
Creditors Delivery note account should always equal to zero IF you have received all the invoices from the suppliers.
A balance can happen at month end or year end, if one has not received the matching supplier invoice.
There can be a timing difference between the date receipted of goods to the date of processing the supplier invoice.

Outsourcing Work
This manual describes how one can receive a product and send this product out to an external supplier. This supplier changes the product and charges you an admin fee for the work done, however you receive a different product back into stock with the additional value.
The first thing one must do is work out what products are been created.
Example
Raw material Aluminum sheet- Cost R1000-00 per sheet
Qty
L-shape bracket 1 R200-00
U-shape bracket 1 R500-00
T-shape bracket 1 R300-00
Cutting cost by Supplier R500-00
End products coming back into stock – Total cost of this must be R1500-00
The system will also work out the additional price per product.
Qty
L-shape bracket 1 R400-00
U-shape bracket 1 R600-00
T-shape bracket 1 R500-00
Here is the process you will follow.
| 1 | Bring in raw material stock |
| 2 | Create a outsource supplier |
| 3 | Do a stock return for the value of the stock item to this outsource supplier |
| 4 | Do a GRV with importation spilt of the new items against this outsource supplier |
Brining in current stock via a GRV

Create an outsource supplier – normally the name of the supplier with outsource in front.

Sending out the sheets to the supplier
When capturing the stock to go out to the outsource supplier, make sure it is at the average cost price of the item.
Make sure that you select Non-VAT, as you have already claimed the VAT on the actual GRV of raw materials stock.
.png)
Stock return to Outsource supplier
This way you can track how much stock the supplier has that you have sent him.
.png)
You will notice in your outsource supplier age analysis that it is in credit
.png)
GRV incoming of new stock
Some points to remember
The stock items must be the cost value of the cost price of the Aluminium.
Value out equals value in.
.png)
Next step is to add the value of the cutting of the other supplier onto the GRV. We will do this by doing the importation split.
On the GRV, click on More details button
.png)
Then click on the Importation Split
.png)
Then click on the Insert Line button to add the invoice from the supplier who charged for the cutting of the sheet.
.png)
This is where you will insert the supplier invoice with the VAT.
.png)
Click on close to update the GRV lines and then SAVE and CLOSE button
.png)
The GRV lines will be updated with the new additional unit cost of the cutting which then gets added to the item cost.
.png)
If you are not happy with the additional cost per item you can manually allocate the additional costs to the items.
Go to More details button and then click on Manual Importation Split button, this allows one to put your own cost price in per item.
.png)
In this one action, the new finished goods are updated, the added value to the items are updated and the supplier invoice is captured into the system.
The Outsource Creditor will balance to zero,
IF the value does not balance you can journal out the value to a Cost of sales account to balance the creditor account.

Supplier Processes
Powder Coating
Here we have an example on how to deal with enhanced value to a product.
One example is Powder coating, we buy an item from a supplier and then send it out for powder coating which increases the value of the stock item. It generally comes back as a new item.
The process will have the following benefits:
- Control which items are sent for Powder Coating
- Know who has the items
- Shows the value powder coating
The first thing we need to do is create an internal Creditor account for powder coating.
If you have multiple suppliers who handle enhanced value to a product, then it is best to create an internal creditor account for each. This way one knows which supplier has the stock that was sent for powder coating.
Make this creditor a Non VAT / GST supplier
Setup the linked supplier to update cost
Go to the item to setup a supplier cost link.
This means that when the stock that is purchased from the actual supplier, updates the internal supplier with the cost.
When sending the stock to the Powder coating supplier for this item, it will bring the correct cost in, which will always be updated.
Sending the stock to the powder coating supplier
Create a Stock Return Document of the stock that will be sent to the supplier.
Ensure that your cost of the item is the same value that you purchased it at
Process and print a Stock Return delivery note.
Delivery note will not show value to Powder coating supplier, but shows items sent to them.
Delivery note to send with stock
The supplier will show a negative value, which tells us that the Powder coating company has our stock.
Stock movement reflects inwards and outwards to powder coating
Receiving stock from Powder Coating
When receiving the stock back from the Powder coater.
Select the new item with the same cost as what you sent it out on.
By doing this the internal Powder coating supplier will equal zero.
This can be run from the PO or GRV documents
Enter the Powder coating actual company in the importation split.
If the supplier charges VAT / GST, select the correct Tax type
This will add the additional cost to the item, thus increasing the value of the stock item.
After processing the following will happen
- Powder coating internal company is balanced out
- New stock comes in with increased value
- Supplier who did powder coating is due for the value
New stock comes in at correct pricing
The supplier is owed the correct amount for powder coating
