Stock (Inventory) Groups

Stock Groups allow you to organize your inventory into logical categories based on similar characteristics, such as product type, function, or department.

 

Key Functions of Stock Groups:

Each stock item is assigned to a Stock Group.

Stock Groups determine:

Markup percentages

Line discounts

Turnover reporting by group

 

When an item is sold, the Stock Group defines the following General Ledger posting accounts:

Sales Account

Cost of Sales Account

Stock Account

Stock Adjustment Account

 

Setup Instructions:

1.Go to Stock Groups in the system.

2.Create a new Stock Group for each inventory category.

3.Assign the appropriate GL accounts:

Cost Account

Sales Account

Stock Account

Stock Adjustment Account

 

4. When adding or editing a stock item, assign it to the relevant Stock Group.

 

Tip: Accurate setup of Stock Groups ensures that sales, costs, and stock movement are correctly posted and reported.

Key Points:

Set the markup percentage for both the main stock group and any subgroups.

In Invoice Options, you can allow items to be sold below the minimum markup if needed.

See also: Pricing Options settings.

Under Job Card Extra is a setting "Allow Below Minimum Markup".

This rule also applies to Quotes, Invoices, and Sales Orders

You can override the general ledger Stock Account in the Goods Received Note (GRN). To enable this feature, follow these steps:

1) Go to GRN Security Setup and select the 'Allow GL Stock Override'.

2) Go to the Stock Options form. Select the 'Per Line Stock GL Account' and/or the 'Per Line stock GL Account - NSI only'.

 

Once these settings are enabled, you can find the Stock GL Account column in the GRN to make the necessary changes.
