Stock - Closing a Stock

Stock - Closing a Stock

INTRODUCTION

When a company wants to manage the stock file it is important to understand how this works from deleting, suspending and closing.

Managing the Stock File

Question 1 - Is it possible to delete a stock code?

Yes! Only if the following is true; there has been no movements against the code. No sales, credits, purchases etc.

Question 2 - Why would I suspend a stock code?

A user would suspend a stock code if there is a positive quantity remaining.
By suspending this enables the code to be sold but no longer purchased.
The code can then be put on a promotion to clear the stock.

Question 3 - When would I close a stock code?

To close a stock code the following conditions need to be matched:
  1. There cannot be a positive or negative qty. If, so then an adjustment will need to be done before closing.
  2. There can be no stock assigned to a purchase order where goods are waiting to be received or goods have been received and an invoice needs be linked to the PO
  3. If the above is true a message will appear in Agility.

Use the following query to identify the PO:
select  d.PONUM 
from ACOCMP1.ophdtran h,ACOCMP1.opittran d 
where h.ponum = d.ponum and h.status <> 'C' 
--Change the stock code below keeping inside the 'code'
and d.stkcode = 'R0048652'

Resolve the above and the code can be closed
