Generating and actioning a negative stock report assists in maintaining accurate stock on hand figures. This report will list any products that have a negative stock on hand in each category.
Suggested questions to identify the cause of the negative SOH are:
- Do you have the product in the pharmacy?
- Have you completed your invoices correctly, i.e. is the product a carton item and are the retail units and cost price correct in the stock card?
- Have you dispensed and sold the product and you are waiting the order to arrive for the customer?
- Have you sold a special order product prior to receiving the stock?
- Is the negative SOH the result of duplicated stock cards?
The Negative Stock Report can be run manually or scheduled to automatically run and be emailed according to the specified schedule.
