ERP for stock management and inventory control

Register receipts, shipments, transfers, inventory counts, and discrepancy adjustments in one ERP workflow.

STOCK CONTROL

Give warehouse and operations teams a documented view of stock movements, inventory counts, and discrepancies.

Who this page helps

  • Companies operating one or more warehouses that need a consistent record of stock movements and counts.
  • Warehouse and operations managers who need to investigate discrepancies before they affect service or planning.
  • Teams replacing spreadsheet-based checks with configured warehouse documents and inventory-count workflows.

When stock control depends on separate files and late checks

  • Book balances are checked against physical stock only after a problem is discovered.
  • Receipts, shipments, and transfers are registered outside a consistent document flow.
  • Inventory-count differences require manual follow-up because the source documents are hard to trace.
OPERATING CONTEXT

Stock control needs a shared, document-based record

Teams need to see which documents created a balance, compare book and physical quantities during an inventory count, and follow the configured warehouse workflow for each movement.

  • Operational and financial stock balances can be controlled separately when the relevant settings are enabled.
  • Warehouse and accounting documents can be configured to reflect how each warehouse processes receipts, shipments, and adjustments.
  • For address-storage warehouses, counts and movements can be handled by storage bin.
WORKFLOW

How teams work through stock movements and counts

  1. 1

    Register the movement

    Use warehouse documents for receipts, shipments, transfers, and adjustments. The related accounting document flow follows the configuration set for that warehouse.

  2. 2

    Move and store goods

    Transfer goods between warehouses. Where address storage is enabled, use putaway and bin-transfer tasks to guide warehouse work.

  3. 3

    Count and reconcile

    Create inventory counts, compare book and actual quantities, investigate differences, and record shortages or surpluses in the relevant documents.

CONFIGURATION MATTERS

Stock control works differently depending on warehouse and accounting settings

e:corg supports configurable document schemes, address storage, transfer tasks, and serial accounting. Confirm the settings needed for your warehouse during a demo before committing to a specific process.

Review your stock-control workflow

In a demo, map receipts, shipments, transfers, inventory counts, and address-storage requirements to the e:corg settings available for your operation.

Stock control in the system

Configuration-dependent capabilities

Available when configured for the warehouse or item policy

- Kitting Plans - Inventory Consumption Plans - Delivery Management - Goods stock plans - Warehouse management (advanced warehouse, adress warehouse) - Transfer orders - Stock transfer discrepancy report - Inventory Consumption orders - Other receipt of goods - Approval of inventory consumption orders - Kittings orders - Kitting statuses - Demand fulfillment

Stock management workflows, from receipt to inventory count

Use documents to record stock movements, keep inventory balances visible, and reconcile differences between book and physical quantities.
address-storage

Address storage and transfer tasks

For warehouses configured with address storage, create putaway and bin-transfer tasks. Putaway rules use the warehouse areas and capacity settings configured for the operation.

What teams can control in e:corg

A documented view of stock movements

Record receipts, shipments, transfers, counts, and adjustments in connected warehouse workflows instead of reconciling separate files after the fact.

A clearer inventory-count process

Compare book and physical quantities by warehouse or bin, investigate differences, and use stock shortage or surplus documents to record the result.

Configuration for the warehouse you operate

Choose document schemes by warehouse and enable address-storage, transfer-task, or serial-accounting workflows only where your operating setup requires them.
