Stock Movements Tab

For the Other Action Menu options (press F9 or ) see Stock Other Actions Menu.

Stock Movements is an Advanced User feature.

Overview

The [ Stock | Movements ] tab shows a complete audit-trail list of all stock movements that have happened against the currently loaded stock item. It is these movements on which the stock control system in Khaos Control is built. By using the [ Stock | Movements ] tab it is possible to see what stock movements have occurred in the past and what source documents, users and sites, etc. they were associated with.

Stock movements in the system use almost an account-style double entry system. For example, if one stock item is ordered there will be a initial movement of ORDERED 1, when it is booked in on delivery there will be a negative movement to balance the ordered total, ORDERED -1. However, do not expect the numbers to balance as the screen shows movement, including moving between different statuses within the system.

The following screenshot shows how the Stock Movements grid might appear as a result of an item being adjusted in and assigned to an order;

The [ Stock | Movements ] tab consists of two areas:

• Filters
• Stock Movements Grid

Note: While it is possible (and often expected) that the positive and negative numbers on this grid will cancel each other out, this is not always the case.

Filters

There are a number of filter options to aid finding the data that you are interested in. Once you have set these, press the "GO" button to populate the stock movements grid and see the results displayed in the Quantity Total box to the right of the "GO" button, just below the date filter:

It is possible to filter stock movements based upon a date range. The 'movement type' checkboxes allow different types of movements to be seen in isolation or combination. The 'Source Doc' filter can be used to limit the stock movements to a specific sales order or delivery note number. It is also possible to view stock movement against a different site, using the site drop-down list.

Note: it is necessary to click "GO" after making changes to the filter settings used, to return the new information to the 'Stock Movements' grid.

• Date From / Date To: defines the date range the stock movement query considers. This defaults to showing stock movements that have occurred during the last calendar month.
• Quantity Total: shows what the In Stock figure would be assuming the movements displayed within the grid are completed. For example, if the applied filters mean that the grid is showing an assignment, but not the issue movement, the figure will be shown as if the issue has occurred. This box displays the result when one of the movement presets has been selected and the "GO" button pressed.

Move Type Filters

The stock movement checkbox filters are provided for use when directed by Support; end users should use the Movement Preset buttons to determine stock level, etc.

Notes:

1. If a checkbox is ticked then any movements of that type will be included in the grid results.
2. If a Movement Presets button is pressed it will tick the relevant checkboxes, this is indicated below with the areas in bold and italic, for example Stock Level, QC etc.

Movement Presets

Pressing each movement preset automatically sets the correct move type filters to show the desired result in the Quantity Total box:

• Stock Level button: the system ticks all the relevant move type filters to display the stock level for the defined date range.

  Note: the Quantity Total will be the stock level of that date range and include all Supplier and Customer returns including Quarantined and Written off stock items.

• On Order button: the system ticks all the relevant move type filters to display the ordered stock movements for the defined date range.
