Inventory document types

Documents that affect stockEvery type covered

Both warehouse documents themselves and documents from sales and purchasing — every one of them updates balances and posts the accounting automatically.

GI

Goods inbound (GI)

Receive goods into the warehouse by referencing a goods issue (GO), a goods receipt for goods/services (GR) or a vendor invoice (AP), with the system pulling the details across automatically.

GO

Goods issue (GO)

Issue goods out of the warehouse by referencing a purchase requisition (PR), a goods inbound (GI) or a sales credit note (CN), giving you an auditable record of the issue.

GT

Goods transfer (GT)

Transfer goods between warehouses, specifying source and destination warehouse, location, sender and receiver, updating both warehouses on a single document.

GC

Cost adjustment (GC)

Adjust item cost for expenses incurred later, such as freight or import duty, and the system allocates them across the items and posts the accounting for you.

GR

Goods/service receipt (GR)

Documents from purchasing: check goods in against the purchase order (PO), then record them into the warehouse and post the accounting in one step.

IV

Invoice/delivery note (IV)

Documents from sales: actual stock is relieved on delivery, after the sales order (SO) has already reserved the goods.

Everything inventory needs

Every stock movementOn one screen

From receipt through issue, see real stock at all times — no waiting for an end-of-day close.

On hand, reserved and available to sell, clearly separated

Every time a document affects the warehouse, the system updates balances immediately — on-hand, quantities reserved by sales orders (SO), and quantities actually available to sell, by warehouse.

Break out SKUs by color, size and model

For a single item with several variants, the system generates the SKU codes automatically and tracks balances by variant, with no need to create duplicate item codes.

Buy by the case, sell by the piece

Set up multiple levels of unit of measure on a single item — for example 1 pack = 3 pieces — and the system converts units and calculates prices on every document, on both the buying and selling side.

Transfers between warehouses, cost included

Create a goods transfer (GT) that updates both the source and destination warehouses on a single document, with the transferred cost calculated automatically using FIFO or weighted average.

Stock and accounting always agree

Every warehouse document — goods inbound (GI), goods issue (GO) and cost adjustment (GC) — creates its general ledger (GL) entries automatically, so stock balances and the trial balance always agree.

Know where every balance comes from

Click through to see which documents make up today's balance, on what dates, and who recorded them — and if a balance looks wrong, you can rerun the stock calculation back in time yourself.

One connected flow

From receipt to issue
Flowing through one system

Every document references the one before it and pulls the details across, so there is no rekeying and no manual reconciliation.

Goods receipt into the warehouse (GR/GI)

Reference the purchase order (PO) to check goods in, and the system records them into the warehouse and posts the accounting immediately.

Stored to the warehouse layout

Specify locations down to 5 levels — building, floor, zone, row and shelf.

Goods issue (GO) / warehouse transfer (GT)

Issue to production, transfer between branches, or adjust cost with a GC document.

Automatic posting

Every warehouse document creates its own GL entries, so stock value matches the trial balance.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions aboutWarehouse features

Does the system support multiple warehouses and branches?
Yes. You can set up an unlimited number of warehouses and branches. Each warehouse shows its own balances, and you can see the company-wide picture on one screen.
What if the balance in the system does not match the physical stock?
Adjust with a goods inbound (GI) for the overage and a goods issue (GO) for the shortage, and the system posts the accounting entries automatically. If you suspect balances are not updating in line with the documents, you can also run a full stock recalculation back to any date you choose.
Is stock relieved automatically on sale?
When a sales order (SO) is issued, the system immediately “reserves” the goods, so the quantity available to sell drops and the same stock cannot be sold twice. Actual stock is relieved when the delivery document is recorded, and for returns you can create a goods inbound (GI) from a credit note (CN), with the system pulling the details across for you.
Can I set costing to FIFO or weighted average?
Yes. Set the costing method per item in the item master, and the system applies that method both when relieving cost of goods sold and when transferring between warehouses (GT). If costs need to be added later, such as freight or import duty, adjust them with a cost adjustment (GC) and the system allocates them across the items automatically.
