Inventory — FAQ

Why can’t I add a Stock Unit to a consignment?

It hasn’t been received into inventory yet. Go to Overview or In/Out and confirm a receipt (IN) movement exists — if not, check the tally sheet was fully saved, not just filled in.

A Stock Unit shows unavailable even though it was received — why?

Check In/Out for an assignment (In Consignment), a Proc IN (currently processing), or confirm it hasn’t already shipped.

My Overview totals look wrong — what should I check?

Look for an uncommitted adjustment or an open processing run that hasn’t been completed, and confirm every tally sheet linked to the affected Stock Units was actually saved.

Which screen should I use for reconciliation?

Use In/Out for the movement audit trail, and the Reconciliation Report (under Reports) for a structured comparison view.

What’s the difference between the six stock stages?

At Forest, At Mill, and At Yard are available stock at that location type. In Transit and In Consignment are stock already booked to a consignment (moving vs. not yet moving). In Process is stock currently going through a processing run.

When should I use Add Adjustment instead of a normal Stock In?

Only when recorded stock no longer matches physical reality (e.g. after a stocktake or damage) — not as a substitute for a proper receipt. If a Stock Unit was physically received but never entered, do a real Stock In instead.

Can I undo a processing run?

Cancel it while it’s still Draft or In Progress — cancelling reverses the input Stock Unit assignments. Once Completed, it can’t be reversed the same way.
