Merlin MRP Factory 9 Stock Take and Correction

1: You will First See the Stock Take Manager Sub Menu.

The first two buttons will print Stock Counting Lists sequenced either by Part No. or by Primary Location. The pages of the list can be shared amongst stock-counting colleagues. The Quantity columns on the pages are blank so that the actual quantity present has to be entered after counting.

When you are ready, click the Enter Stock Take Results Button. Or you may choose to use the Manage CLOSED STOCK TAKE SESSION option on the Manufacturing Resources Control Panel, which allows a Superviser to run an exclusive Stock Take session.

Doing either of the above will take you to Step 2.

2: Select the Line on Which You Wish to Start Checking the Result of the Count.

You will see a familiar looking screen, as shown, with the list of your Material Resources, i.e. physical stock. The upper of the two buttons at the bottom left of the screen enables you to toggle between sequencing modes as described in Step 1.

When you have done this, locate on the list and click the item with which you wish to start entering the count results, which will be the first item listed, or picking up from where you previously left-off entering the results.

This will take you to Step 3.

3: Entering Corrections as and Where Required.

Now you see the details of the stock item, and to the right, a panel showing the Location(s) where it is stored.

To correct the physical Stock Level if necessary, click the EDIT RECORD button, and enter the New Current Stock Quantity as per the actual Stock Count. Click the tab or the Enter button and you will see the Plus/Minus Adjustment that has been made. Click SAVE RECORD. The Stock Take adjustments will be shown in the Stock Movements tab for each Material Resource Record Card.

If the Count agrees with the Stock Level shown, you may still wish to click to EDIT and SAVE the Record without making any changes, as this will log into Stock Movements for the part a zero-sum line (zero in and zero out) which will record the fact that the Stock Level was counted and confirmed.

This will take you to Step 4.

4: Continue, or Suspend Entering Results.

Having saved the entry, click the NEXT Record button to work your way through the entire stock, or the section that has been counted in thus far. When you are done, or are done for the moment, click the EXIT FORM button. You can, of course, return at any time to pick up where you left off. Don't forget to note on your Counting List where that was!
