Creating stocktake reasons

When the cinema finds more or less stock than expected, you can require an explanation for the variance.

Reasons can be entered directly in the Reason column in Stocktake Entry or be pre-defined in Cinema Manager or Head Office. After they are created, the appropriate reason can be selected for each item in the stocktake.

1. Navigate to the Reasons form in Maintenance.
2. Click Create.
3. Enter a description for the Reason.
4. For example: POS operator error, Damaged Packing, Supplier Error.
5. Select the Reason Type Stocktake Variance.
6. Select one Default option.

   Name	Description

   Default for inventory gain	Automatically applies the reason to any item that has more actual stock than expected stock.
   Default for combined stocktake items	Automatically applies the reason to any stocktake item sets when their variance is more than the accepted value.
