This is a list of all created stock documents. From these, you can automatically create sales documents (invoices and cash receipts) and allocate incidental costs of inventory acquisition.

You can access the list in the "Goods" module under Goods Receipts/Issues.

The table's top toolbar contains a number of buttons, described in a separate chapter, "Application Controls".

Below the top toolbar there is also a filter bar, where you can narrow down your selection:

Function

Using this function, you can first create stock documents – goods receipts/issues – and then automatically create a received/issued invoice from them.

You will first be prompted to select a document type. The form for the selected invoice will then be displayed; the items from the stock documents will be transferred into the invoice items, and the company will also be transferred. You can review the data, complete it, and save it.

Function

If you first need to create stock documents – goods receipts/issues – and don't want to issue an invoice, but the payment will be made in cash. You will first be prompted to select a document type.

The form for the relevant cash receipt document will then be displayed; the items from the stock documents will be transferred into the invoice items, and the company will also be transferred. You can review the data, complete it, and save it.

Function

This option lets you easily create a transfer between your warehouses. As the first step, you create an issue slip in the standard way. After confirming this option, you will be prompted to select a document type.

This is how you actually specify the warehouse to which you want to transfer the goods. The receipt form will then be displayed, and the items from the issue slip will be transferred. You can review the data, complete it, and save it.

Function

This option relates to the company settings under the "Modules" -> "Goods" tab, where you have the option to check Allow issue request generation. If you have goods that have been invoiced but not yet received into stock, you can use this option to clear an issue slip with a zero quantity – the goods will be issued from stock and the document (issue slip) status will change to "Generated from invoice".

In the stock document items, the column "Quantity/Issue Unit" will be filled in with the actually issued quantity. The values in the fields "Requested Unit" and "Quantity/Issue Unit" will be identical.

Filter drop-downs let you quickly and easily filter the displayed documents. Set up the filtering according to your current needs; the most recently used filter will also be applied the next time you open the list.

This tab is relevant for posting stock items and for further specifying them, such as batch, expiration, etc.

Behind the items at the top of the screen (posting template, account, cost center, activity, order/job), there are marked fields. This is how it is set up in the system, and it means that the marked data is copied from the document header, i.e., from the "Document specification" and "Posting" tabs. That's why they are grayed out – unavailable – in this state. If a correction is made in the document header, the change will also be reflected in these marked items.
If, in the document item, you select an item from the price list that has been assigned to a specific group, posting is governed by the settings in that group.

If you need to post one of these marked items differently, simply uncheck it – this will make the field available so you can change the value. If a correction is made in the document header, the change will not be reflected in these unmarked items.

Posting template

Simplifies posting individual documents; to post the document, the account fields below must be filled in.

If you change it, the related account will change automatically, and the checkbox next to the related account will be unchecked at the same time.

Account

The offsetting account for the warehouse account; it is transferred from the document's Posting template field on the Document specification tab, or from the Offsetting account field on the Posting tab. If the item from the Price list form is assigned to a specific group, the posting will be adjusted according to the group's settings; it can also be changed independently, without changing the Posting template field.

One of these two accounts is grayed out, i.e., cannot be edited – this is the warehouse account, taken from the warehouse settings, shown on the document's Main tab, or on the document item's Main tab. For receipts, this is the Debit base account; for issues, the Credit base account. If you need to change it, you must adjust the warehouse in the document item on the Main tab.

You can enter the abbreviation or name of the order/job (or just part of the abbreviation or name) and select the desired order/job from the offered records. You can also open the orders/jobs codebook (using the icon on the right or the F2 key) and search for the order/job using filters, or edit it or add a completely new record.

Batch and Expiration

This field must be filled in already at the time of the first receipt; if these fields should also be filled in when goods are issued, check the Issue by expiration field in the Goods – Stock cards menu. When saving the item, the batch and expiration with the shortest expiration period will then be filled in automatically. Warning: if you are issuing a certain quantity of a single item from stock, but with different batches and expiration dates, you must create multiple items.

Volume and Volume unit

Filling in these fields is not mandatory. This is informational data about the volume of the given goods. The value is transferred from the price list, from the field of the same name on the "Specification" tab. Of course, you can also fill it in manually.

Supplier

The value is transferred from the price list, from the field of the same name on the "Specification" tab. You can also add it manually using the magnifying glass button from the list of companies.

In some cases, documents are created automatically. You can tell how a document was created from the "Document status" field on the "Main" tab in the top left panel. At the same time, using the

Links button, you can find out which document the selected stock document is linked to.

If you confirm with Yes, a dialog for the selected warehouse opens, allowing you to complete the document series. If you answer No, the item cannot be saved.

If you answer Yes, a receipt for your selected warehouse will be created immediately.

If you answer No, you can create the transfer later manually using the Services button.

In both cases, you then need to select, from the warehouse list, the warehouse to which you want to transfer the goods.

After selecting and confirming it, a receipt will be automatically generated. The "Movement type specification" field will be filled in with "Receipt for transfer". The "Document status" field will be set to "Transfer". After saving, this status will also be set on the linked issue slip. The purchase prices of both documents will always be the same.

If you do not have goods classified into groups, you can create a single posting template for transfers to use for both stock documents – receipt and issue. Both documents created this way will then be posted according to it, and the set account will balance out between them.

If you have goods classified into groups, the account from the group is transferred to the issue slip, and the same account is used for the receipt, resulting in the account also being balanced out. The transfer does not affect the account balance.
