The Stocktake Entry function for entering data has been designed for the adjustment of stock levels and/or actual costs per unit. The Stocktake Entry screen allows control of the stock and automatic entry of the opposing adjustments within the General Ledger. The General Ledger account is the Debit or Credit side to be adjusted against the Inventory Asset Account.

Important Information on Stocktake Entry

• If the Stocktake Entry involves negative stock, there is no cost change.
• Any Inventory stock that has its Type set as Hire is treated differently to all other stock during Stocktake Entry. These items will also not be displayed in any Sales or Purchase lists. Once the stock has been purchased as a normal Inventory item this Stock Entry function is used to transfer normal stock into the Hire Stock.

Managing your Supply Chain is a process that starts from the raw materials and the inbound logistics all the way to the outbound logistics. While supply chain management concepts have received increased attention, the key to an efficient supply chain is to make sure that the process runs as smoothly as possible.

Supply chain management is recognised as the management of key business processes across the network of organisations that supply you. Without an efficient supply chain, there would be many bottlenecks in the process.

One needs to follow through each and every step of the process and make sure that things go efficiently and smoothly. ERP Accounting plays a significant function in supply chain management, however recent studies have shown how your business can be affected by the management of supply chain and distribution.

Accounts Payables

The amount of cash that flows out of the company in exchange for goods or services from another person or company is the accounts payable. With accounting, we can organise and track the payments to vendors efficiently. An ERP accounting system allows a business to keep track of all types of financial transactions and is capable of generating reports that provide management with specific information to aid in the decision-making process.

Accounts Receivables

Accounts receivable allows you to track invoices for payment, that your clients have ordered but not yet paid for. It helps in managing your accounts efficiently with customer tracking, invoice management, activity analysis, receipt and cash receipt processing.

For a successful supply chain, you need data, records, reports, analysis, accurate accounting information about your assets, liabilities and profits. This is why ERP Accounting plays a crucial role in supply chain management.
