Cinema Manager: Stocktake FAQs

How do I set the Stocktake Mode that I would like to use?

This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StocktakeMode. Select from DayEnd or Flexible.

How do I set the Stocktake Style that I would like to use?

This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StocktakeStyle.

How do I set the frequency of Stocktakes?

This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StocktakeDefaultFrequency.

Can Stocktake count quantities be saved automatically as I enter them?

Yes. This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StocktakeSaveOnEntry. If the setting is set to Yes, only items for which a count is entered will be updated during the Close of Day process. If the setting is set to No, you must save entries manually so items are updated.

How can the Vista system calculate Stocktake entries for me?

The Stocktake Entry form can be populated with the calculated closing balance figures. This is dependent on setting the Cinema Manager system setting StocktakeAutoFillClose to Autofill.

This function has been designed so that the person performing the stocktake can isolate stock exceptions and rectify them.

Why is Stocktake Entry not calculating my closing balance even though I set StocktakeAutoFillClose to Autofill?

If Allow Stocktake count to default to closing balance isn't selected on the Stock Location form, closing balances can't be calculated.

Ensure Allow Stocktake count to default to closing balance is selected for the required locations.

How can I ensure that my Stocktake is current when transactions have occurred between when I started and now?

Clicking Update Stock Movements will detect and review any new stock receipts, stock adjustments, or items made.

Can I use multiple units of measurement when entering a stock count?

Yes. Open tablet mode to select an item and enter its count in multiple units of measurement.

Can the Goods Receipt print automatically after I enter stock receipts?

Yes. This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StkReceipts_PrintGoodRecp. Select from the three options:

• Print: automatically print the report.
• Preview: display report on screen, from where it can be manually printed.
• No: do not print or preview the report.

How do I perform a stocktake greater than today's date?

The ability to do this is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StockCountAllowForwardDate. Set it to Y.

How can I control the closing date of the stocktake?

This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting AlterStockTransDate:

• N: the system date is used. This is the default setting.
• Y: a custom closing date can be entered, including stock transactions prior to the last stocktake date.

How can I set the stocktake closing date to default to the next business start time of day?

This is determined by the Cinema Manager system setting StockCountUsesDefaultDate:

• Y: the closing day is set to the next business start time of day
• N: the closing date is set to the current time and date.
