Issue Stock
Use Issue when items leave your location for use — given to a team, taken to a training session, or loaned out.
Steps
- Go to Stock and select your location
- Click Issue
- Scan the item's barcode, or search by SKU/name
- Enter the quantity being issued
- (Optional) Add a reference and a note (e.g. who is taking the items, for which event)
- Click Confirm
Notes
- The system will warn you if the quantity requested exceeds the current stock on hand
- Issuing more than available is not allowed — you must receive or transfer stock in first
- Each issue creates one ledger entry
- Use the reference field to record who the items were issued to or for which purpose
Difference between Issue and Transfer
| Issue | Transfer | |
|---|---|---|
| Destination | Outside the system (use, loan) | Another location in the system |
| Confirmation needed | No | Yes (recipient must confirm) |
| Stock returned? | No (use Receive if returned) | Stock appears at receiving location |
After issuing
The stock quantity at your location decreases immediately. The entry appears in the History ledger.
