SET OPENING STOCK
In order to produce more, comprehensive reports such as the example given. The Set
Opening Stock sequence would be incorporated into the month end procedure. This can
be carried manually by selecting Set Opening Stock or automatically via the GSSEvent
communications timetable. The sequence will copy the current stock quantity to the
Opening Stock quantity and commencing calculating movements from the period start
date which was set. It is possible to have numerous Opening Stocks running
The concept of storing different Opening Stock names is to allow reports for different
period start dates, once that period date, alternatively to allow a number of period
reports to run within the same time scale.
For example, a 4 Weekly Period reports running within one month, each Opening Stock
name, storing a different start stock value and totaling all the report data such as
transfers etc from a different start point, i.e. the 1
st
of the month the Week1, Week2,
Week3, Week4, which is in actual fact 5 Opening Stock names for a one month period.
