8.3.3 Receiving commodities
When you receive a new batch of a certain commodity, you have to open a new
batch card. Go to Summary page and click on an empty line for that commodity.
If you want to enter a third batch of OPV for example, click on the OPV line 3 on
the Summary page. This will send you to OPV 3 work sheet. Enter Expiry Date,
Manufacturer’s Name, and Lot Number. Keep the beginning balance as “zero”.
Then enter Issuing Voucher’s number, current date and number of commodities.
You should put a “+” sign to In-Out column since this is adding a commodity to
your stock. You will see that background of the “+” sign is turned to red (means you
received stock). Under the From/To column enter the warehouse or organization’s
name that you received this commodity.
If you receive a new stock from a previous batch, enter Issuing Voucher’s number,
current date and number of commodities. You should put a “+” sign to In-Out column
since this is adding a commodity to your stock. You will see that background of the
“+” sign is turned to red (means you received stock). Under the From/To column
enter the warehouse or organization’s name that you received this commodity.
