The Inventory of Consumables - Adding Inventory Records
Roger Wiese
Last Update 4 năm trước
Adding a Purchase or an Initial Stock Record
Navigate to the Inventory of Consumables Module > Inventory Records > Inventory Transactions. Then click on the " + Purchase " button
Things to be aware of on the purchases form:
The Date is important. Your stock on hand tracking for any given consumable will start from the initial date.
You may enter a Batch Number and record the Storage Location on this form even if you are not tracking by either. They will be ignored when it comes to stock on hand calculations unless you are tracking by them specifically.
If you are tracking the consumable by either or both Batch Number and Storage Location, the program will not allow the record to be saved if those are missing.
Packages: For your convenience, you can enter the number of Packages purchased & a price per package. Package Sizes can be added on-the-fly on this form
"Update Default Input Cost?": If you tick this option, your Input Cost Table will be updated. A new Date & Price record will be added for the consumable.
If you don't tick that option at purchase time, the only way to associate the new price with the consumable is through the Input Costs Management system or by clicking the "$" icon on the listing of consumables. For more information on Input Costs see here
Expiry Dates: As with most fields on the right hand side of the form, Expiry Date is optional, but the program will display the expiry dates in various places for your information.
