Using Balance Stock Control


 

1. How Balance Stock Control Works

Balance stock control is pack replacement ordering. When an entire pack quantity has been dispensed, a pack quantity will be ordered automatically.

Balance stock control ignores usage and stock figures.

2. Changing When Products are Ordered

For each product, there is a Balance used value. Each time the product is dispensed, the balance used value is increased by the quantity issued. When this figure exceeds the pack quantity, a pack is ordered and the balance used value is reset.

The Balance used value for a product can be manually changed at any time so the pack is ordered when you actually finish using a whole pack.

To change the Balance used value:

  • From the Tools menu, click Inquiry and then click Product.

  • Find the appropriate product then click Details.

  • Change the Balance used value to the amount of the pack that has already been dispensed.

  • Click OK.
