New Stock

New stock is used to add new stock to unit loads and locations.

The first step is to identify the product. The product code can be entered in the stock code box. However, best practice is to scan the product barcode.

Enter the quantity and the destination in the fields and click Ok. If necessary, set the Best before date and Batch Number. If no best before date and batch no are supplied, the software will assume that the batch is the same as that on the destination.

The destination can be one of the following:

1. A picking location assigned to the stock item.
2. A unit load.
3. An empty storage location with a capacity of 1
4. A storage location containing a phantom unit load

If you are adding stock to a unit load:

• The unit load must be located in GOODS-IN.
• The unit load already contains stock of the items you are trying to store.

New Stock this is the default selection. Select new stock when the goods are from a suppliers delivery. i.e. this is the first time these items are entering the warehouse.

Retour should be selected if the goods that are re-touring the warehouse. A re-tour might be one of the following:

• A customer return.
• Storing stock for a pick list that has been cancelled.

The final screen shows a summary of the new stock operation.
