Rolling stock takes

Rolling stock takes are normally processed for a group of products, for example, drenches. If these are done on a regular basis, they assist with stock management and the end of year stock take will not be such an onerous task. Rolling stock takes can be done on any day of the month. This will be the date that is used, when entering your stock on hand figures.

Rolling stock takes are normally processed for either high $value items, and/or fast moving items which are hard to keep track of, for example, mastitis treatments, dry cow treatments, drenches, pet foods, flea treatments etc.

To process a rolling stock take

• As you are only counting part of your stock, ensure that the Use a zero stocktake check box is NOT selected in Main menu > Maintenance module > Maintenance menu > System Defaults > Stock tab.
• Before you perform your physical stock take, ensure that ALL supplier invoices are entered into VisionVPM up to the date of the stock take.

There are three steps to processing a rolling stock take, as follows:

1. Print the stock take list.
2. Count your stock.
   • Extra step for data transfer clinics: manual export/import.
3. Enter the stock on hand quantities.
