You can freely configure the dialogue box of the module, e.g. you can manage the display of columns, change column names, etc. There is also the data filtering function; it helps you to quickly display appropriate documents matching the variants defined by you. This function is not used so often with documents, as it is with, e.g. items. To find out more about the configuration of the dialogue window go here, and then proceed to item 6.3 Tool bar, configuration and filtering of data.
The OB document includes items, which have been added and information about their initial stock level in the item list. When adding items to the module, you set their
To have a look at the OB document, you must go to the module, and then specify the document type as "Opening balance". The opening balance will be displayed as one of the options.
To open and view the document, double click opening balance or use the icon.
The opening balance document includes information about the amount of items which was specified when the warehouse was being opened. You can correct the number of items and prices, once you open the document. When editing historical documents, you should remember, however, not to delete or decrease the number of items, which were issued afterwards.
The actual number of items on stock may differ from the stock levels determined in the inventory management program - many factors come into play. For that reason, it is advisable to make an inventory from time to time.
LoMag enables you to carry out an inventory of stock levels. The inventory wizard can be turned on in two ways. Method number one: go to in the part.
The second method for launching the inventory module is via the inventory icon on the tool bar of the program, which can be found in the main menu.
The above actions will result in the opening of the window, thanks to which you will be able to start the warehouse inventory.
is a module used for making a warehouse inventory. This process will result in the creation of an inventory document and a stock level correction document.
The wizard enables you to carry out the inventory in three ways:
This method enables you to create both a full and a partial warehouse inventory. In this case the inventory preparation starts with an empty warehouse document, to which the user adds items as their stock levels are corrected.
To create an inventory starting with an empty document select in the window, and then confirm your choice by clicking .
An empty inventory document will be displayed.
Let's assume that there was a discrepancy noted during warehouse stock-taking between the actual stock level and the stock level on documents. For example there were two items – carrots and potatoes. The warehouse keeper found 40kg of carrots at the warehouse, and the remaining potatoes on stock are not suitable for resale and further use. Let's conduct a partial inventory of those two items. In this case you should reduce the dependencies between the actual stock level and the inventory management program. Use the button, which will display the window of adding items to the inventory document.
Next, select the item for which you wish to change the stock level - in this case it will be "carrots", for which a discrepancy between the actual stock level and the actual stock level was discovered.
Once you have chosen the item, the remaining fields on the form, including the current stock level of the item in LoMag, will be fill in. As you can see, this stock level does not correspond with the actual stock level; go to the field to correct the difference and enter the actual stock level for"carrots" ("40kg"). Next, approve the changes with the key, which will add the item to the document.
All receipts to the warehouse, which include a given item are displayed n the field. When changing the stock level, you can specify which receipt of a given item is to be decreased or increased. Find out more about how to manage the function here in item eight"Preview and selection of deliveries".
During the stock-taking you have also noticed a discrepancy concerning "Potatoes". Proceed as you did with "Carrots". (Because the goods are spoilt, decrease the stock level - it will equal zero in this case).
The above items have been added to the inventory documents together with stock level corrections.
When you finish the inventory process, click . The program will request a confirmation of the conducted inventory.
Click to approve the inventory. Next, in case of a partial inventory, i.e. not including all items on the document, you will be asked if tithe outstanding items should be added to the document with their stock levels set at zero (see below).
If you select , the remaining items will be added to the document with 0 stock levels (see below).
To skip the remaining items in the inventory, click .
You will be informed about the confirmation of the inventory and the module, which includes information about the stock level and value of items before and after the inventory, will be displayed.
The correction document () will be generated simultaneously with the inventory process.
The inventory document can be found with the use of the module. Find out more about how to find warehouse documents in the module here in item 9. Finding documents.
Creating an inventory basing on the current stock level also enables you to create both a full and partial warehouse inventory. However, this method is characterised by commencing with automatic addition of all items to the document with current values.
To create an inventory basing on the current stock level in the module, select the option, and then click .
A document with a full list of items available at the warehouse will be displayed.
To execute the correction of the stock level of a given item, click its row in the document, and then use the edit function ().
For example, there was a discrepancy noted between the actual stock level and the stock level on documents for "Oranges" - mark "Oranges" on the document, and click the tool, which is located on the tool bar of the document module.
Next, type in the new stock level (e.g., 100 kg) for this item to the field and approve the changes with the key.
Once you have made the changes in stock levels, approve the inventory with the key. Just like with the inventory based on an empty document, you will be asked to approve the conducted operation of stock level correction.
After you have approved the inventory, a correction document is created, which accounts for the executed changes. The remaining items and their values have not been changed.
As you see above, only the value for "Oranges" has been changed. The remaining items have not changed their stock levels, although they have been accounted for during the preparation of the inventory. The correction document is created along with the inventory document ().
The third option for the execution of an inventory at your company involves inventory sheets. This method is useful, if you are conducting the inventory using various methods and many people are checking individual stock levels and introduce changes to them.
To create an inventory basing on inventory sheets, first you have to create inventory sheets and then proceed to the window. If you do not have inventory sheets, it is not possible to prepare an inventory in this way.
To create an inventory sheet in LoMag you have to go to the main menu, to the part, and then proceed to and . The window will be launched.
Next, use the button to create a new inventory sheet, in which you add items with stock level corrections.
Adding items to the inventory sheet is just like adding items to the inventory document, or any other document in LoMag.
For example, two warehouse keepers were taking stock at the warehouse. The first one looked into "Fruit" and discovered a discrepancy between the stock levels for "Apples", while the other one looked into "Vegetables" and discovered a discrepancy between the stock levels for "Carrots" and "Potatoes".
The first employee introduces the correction onto the inventory sheet in LoMag inventory management. In this example the item was "Apples"; the warehouse keeper introduces a correction to the inventory sheet.
Then, the second employee introduces the change of stock levels. The warehouse keeper creates a new inventory sheet in , and then introduces changes to the items from the group of "Vegetables"
The employee has introduced items with a correction of stock levels to the inventory sheet (see below)
Once all the data has been entered, save the document by clicking .
Basing on the two inventory sheets you can start the inventory process. Go to the module, select the option and mark () the inventory sheets, which are to be included in the inventory.
To start the process, click . An inventory will be generated, basing on the previously introduced inventory sheets.
At this point you can still introduce corrections and edit the inventory sheets. Once you have finished the inventory process, click . You will be asked for confirmation of the inventory and whether the outstanding items should be added to the document with their stock levels marked as zero (provided it is a partial inventory). This stage has been worked through and described in item 2.1 Making an inventory on an empty document in these instructions.
You will be informed about the approval of the inventory and the module will be displayed, which will inform you about the stock level and the value of items before and after the inventory.
The document is also created during the inventory process.
The "Advanced functions" part of these instructions discusses the issue of serial numbers for items in LoMag inventory management. While preparing an inventory of stock levels, in case of corrections pertaining to products with serial numbers, you will also have to introduce corrections to serial numbers.
In case of a stock level decrease for an item (which has a serial number), the window will be displayed, in which you have to point out a serial number which is not on stock anymore.
Once you have selected the correct number for a given item, a stock level correction will be made, and the serial number will be removed from the LoMag database.
If you had an increase of stock levels for an item (which has a serial number), the window will be displayed, in which the newly added serial number will appear on stock.
Once you have added a serial number for a given item, a stock level correction will be made for this item, and the serial number will be added to the LoMag database.
Find out how to manage serial numbers in the and modules here, in item 1.8 Support for serial numbers.
After introducing the correction of items with serial numbers, approve your inventory ().
The inventory archive includes a list of documents from the executed inventories. To go to the archive click the field on the menu, and then go to the field and the field.
You will find a list of conducted inventories in the window. The module allows a detailed preview of the process of inventory preparation (), edition () and deletion () of an already existing inventory. There is also a possibility of printing (), or exporting () a list of all the inventory processes.
