Stock Reposting Settings
Overview
Stock Reposting Settings — Business Overview
Stock Reposting Settings is a control document in Dafater used to manage how and when stock balances are recalculated after corrections or changes to past inventory transactions. Its purpose is to ensure that inventory quantities and values remain accurate across all warehouses and reports, even when adjustments are made retrospectively.
What Stock Reposting Settings Is Used For
In daily operations, businesses sometimes need to correct or adjust historical stock transactions, such as backdated entries, corrections to quantities, or valuation changes. When this happens, Dafater needs to “repost” stock data so that all subsequent balances reflect the correction.
Stock Reposting Settings allows the business to define how this reposting process should behave, ensuring:
- Accurate stock balances over time
- Correct inventory valuation for financial reporting
- Consistency between operational stock data and management reports
This document acts as a safeguard to keep inventory data reliable without disrupting day-to-day operations.
Prerequisites and Setup Requirements
Before using Stock Reposting Settings, the following should be in place:
- Inventory management processes are actively used in Dafater
- Warehouses and stock items are already configured
- Users understand the impact of changing past stock transactions
- Clear internal approval or control policies exist for inventory corrections
This document is typically set up once and reviewed periodically, rather than changed frequently.
