A Stock Entry lets you record Item movement between Warehouses.
To access the Stock Entry list, go to:
Home > Stock > Stock Transactions > Stock Entry
Stock Entries can be made for the following purposes:
- Material Issue: If the material is being issued to someone in or outside the company (Outgoing Material). The Items will be deducted from the Warehouse set under Source Warehouse.
- Material Receipt: If the material is being received (Incoming Material). The Items will be added to the Warehouse set under Target Warehouse.
- Material Transfer: If the material is being moved from one internal Warehouse to another.
- Material Transfer for Manufacturing: If raw materials are being transferred for manufacturing. The transfer can happen against a Work Order or a Job Card. To know more, visit the Bill Of Materials page.
