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:

  1. 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.
  2. Material Receipt: If the material is being received (Incoming Material). The Items will be added to the Warehouse set under Target Warehouse.
  3. Material Transfer: If the material is being moved from one internal Warehouse to another.
  4. 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.
  5. Material Consumption for Manufacture: There can be multiple consumption stock entries against a manufacturing Work Order. Refer this link for more details
  6. Manufacture: If the Material is being received from a Manufacturing/Production Operation.
  7. Repack: If the Original item/items are being repacked into new item/items.
  8. Send to Subcontractor: If the Material is being issued for a sub-contract activity. This entry is made from a Purchase Order.
