Stock Records monitor article movement in particular stocks. The data about articles in individual stocks may be monitored in the book of Articles, in the columns Available and Assigned. The movement of articles is affected by the documents Receipt Card, Release Note, Transfer Note and Job Card. The movement of articles automatically updates the Stock Card, which is displayed on the 8th page of the Article card.

Warehouse Settings

Besides from creating individual cards of warehouses in the book of Warehouses, it is necessary to first define the books in which you will create stock documents before you start actually issuing them.

You need to define Books of Purchase for Receipt Cards (the settings is described in the Purchase chapter), define Books of Sale for Release Notes (the settings is described in the Sale chapter), and define Books of Warehouses for Transfer Notes and Job Cards.

A Transfer Note can be posted only after the second confirmation.

Assign Batches and Locations to Releases While Saving

On - while saving a Transfer Note, a batch will be automatically filled in by the FIFO method into all items that register batches and that have no batch set. K2 evaluates the order of batches for release according to the FIFO method based on the batch abbreviation that is created by the date of creation of the batch and its serial number within the date by standard. Giving also applies to location. Only locations with the active Automatic release option are automatically added, in the order of the location abbreviation.
