If you are not using Stock Batch Tracking, then the BatchSerialNo text box can remain blank.

Select Quantity

In this example, we will be 'knocking down' one A4 Architects Drawing Book. We will be adjusting the individual parts out of stock. Therefore the (end) Quantity (in stock) amount of this part must be changed.

Click in the Quantity field.

Either type in or use the directional arrows to select the end quantity after the adjustment.

In this example, the sum will be: Quantity Stock on Hand (5) - the adjusted out quantity (1) = the total end quantity in stock (4).

As the Quantity is entered, a new row should appear, if not, to add more items to the list, click on the last text box in the row and press Enter.

Select Unit Parts to be Adjusted into Stock

Now we will add the unit parts that we are adjusting into stock. These are the unit parts that make up the whole unit, (the A4 Architects Drawing Book), that is being broken down.

Click in the Part Code text box to display the ellipsis button.
The Select a part screen will pop up.
Select the row of the unit part that you wish to adjust into stock.

Part Code: This will now populate with the selected item's part code.
Part Description: This will now populate with the selected item's part description.
Part Type: This will now populate with the selected item's part type.
Warehouse Name: This will now populate if there is a default warehouse linked to the unit part selected. You can click in the text box and use the ellipsis button to bring up the Select... screen and choose an alternative warehouse if required.
Bin Location Name: This will now populate if there is a default bin location linked to the unit part selected. You can click in the text box and use the ellipsis button to bring up the Select... screen and choose an alternative bin location if required.
Unit Cost: With C-Class items, weighted average cost is calculated over multiple batches, within the same Bin Location, therefore the Unit Cost will populate as the Bin Location Name is selected. With A or B-Class items, once the serial no. is selected, will the Unit Cost field populate, as each serial no. is priced individually.
QtySOH: This text box will populate with the current Stock on Hand quantity of the C-Class item in the selected Bin Location. With A or B-Class items, this field will only populate once the serial no has been selected and will always populate with 1 as only one A or B-Class item can be selected at a time.
Quantity: This will populate with 0 You will need to adjust this figure (shown further in the manual) according to how many of this unit part that you are bringing into stock.
Line Cost: This will populate with the sum of the Unit Cost x Quantity. This will currently be a minus figure as the system is calculating that you are adjusting a second item out of stock. It will read as a plus (+) figure once the Quantity has been adjusted to receive this item into stock.

the Bin Location that this unit part will be received into, has been changed.
the Unit Cost, QtySOH, and Line Cost fields have auto adjusted to take this into account.

Click in the Batch Serial No text box and type in the Batch Reference No for this unit part. (This is only required if you are using Stock Batch Tracking).

Note: As you are receiving this unit part into stock, you cannot use the the Select... screen to find the serial (A or B-Class) or batch (C-Class) number as a new batch or serial number must be created.

In this example, we will be 'knocking down' one whole unit; the A4 Architects Drawing Book. We will be adjusting the unit parts (e.g. A4 Clear Plastic Covers, A4 Cardboard Backing, A4 Notepaper) into stock. Therefore the (end) Quantity amount for each unit part must be changed.

Click in the Quantity text box and either type in or use the directional arrows to select the end quantity after the adjustment.

In this example, the sum will be: Quantity Stock on Hand (7) + the adjusted in quantity (1) = the total end quantity in stock (8).

As the Quantity is entered, the Line Cost will adjust accordingly, it will now be a plus + amount.
A new row should appear, if not, to add more items to the list, click on the last text box in the row and press Enter.
Click in the Part Code text box to display the ellipsis button and add unit items as explained above until all the unit parts that make up the whole unit have been listed.

In this image, we have added all the unit parts and adjusted the Quantity fields (A4 Clear Plastic Cover x 1, A4 Cardboard Backing x 1, A4 Note Paper x 2) to the list as an adjustment into stock.
The Line Cost for the unit parts you are adjusting into stock and the total unit you are writing out of stock should be exactly the same.

In this image, the amount being adjusted out = A4 Architects Drawing Book: 300.00,
the amount being adjusted in = A4 Clear Plastic Cover (x 1) 50.00 + A4 Cardboard Backing (x 1) 50.00 + A4 Note Paper (x 2) 200.00 = total 300.00.

Important Note:
It is prudent to approve/authorise the adjustment as soon as possible after it has been recorded.
