In its simplest form it allows an input screen, showing a list of existing stock items where you capture a QOH and the system then calculates the adjustment.

When you are finished entering you should get the opportunity to print it out for manual verification.

When complete, the adjustment should be posted.

For example: One of the non-profits I do books for as a charity, operate a bar. We capture the bar stock in via supplier purchases so that we can monitor stock and movements to events etc. When the bar runs we do not do invoicing, we just do opening and closing. Cost of goods sold is then calculated by means of a stock take.

This system can be enhanced to dissallow transactions while stock is going on.
