STOCK TAKE WHAT IS A STOCK TAKE
Stock Taking is the counting of stock inventory items that a business is holding at any given time, to gain an
accurate record of stock levels. Reports are generally used for accounting purposes or general stock monitoring.
Having an accurate idea of the number of stock items the company owns, allows the accountants to reconcile physical stock to the inventory records, highlight variances and identify issues with stock management and
control. With accurate knowledge about stock movements and the stock on hand, the user can make informed decisions about theft, slow-moving items, damaged stock, technology obsolescence and warehouse processes.
There are two ways that Stock Takes can be done, a Full Stock Take where every stock item in the business is
counted and Perpetual Stock Takes where only specific departments or locations can be counted. Both these
ways of doing Stock Take will be explained in depth in this document.
NOTE: Stock Take is recommended to be done as often as is necessary, to achieve 100% accurate
control of the company’s stock levels.
FULL STOCK TAKE
The Full Stock Take option is the process of physically counting inventory and re-entering these figures into
the IQ Enterprise System to ensure correct figures. Often this task is performed annually at close of financial year. The full Stock Take allows the user to do exactly that: which means the counting of all items within the
company and updating the system with the correct on-hand quantities.
If Multiple Warehouses are enabled in Default Setting (1) in Company Details, concurrent Full Stock Takes are allowed, given that every Stock Take is done for a different warehouse. Concurrent Stock Takes for the
same stock in a location, to be counted will not be allowed.
If Multiple Warehouses are disabled in Default Settings (1) in Company Details, the IQ system will see the company as having only one stock location and IQ will not allow more than one Full Stock Take at a time.
PERPETUAL COUNT
The Perpetual Count option is the process of counting the company’s inventory while the company is in a 24/7 operation and the stock items are too extensive. The random count option allows the user to count
different items (per department, location randomly selected items) at different times and the stock items are correctly updated once completed.
NOTE: There are a few options that cannot be used when a random count stock take or specific
department or location/warehouse counts are setup: stock items not counted can’t be written off and stock items not counted can’t be put on hold.
NOTE: STOCTAK3 – STOCTAK7 reports will not work for random counts or selected department or
location/warehouse counts.
• STOCTAK3 – Uncounted Items Moved after Stock Take started.
• STOCTAK4 – Complete stock listing per selected department.
• STOCTAK5 – All stock items not counted yet.
• STOCTAK6 – All stock items not counted by department.
• STOCTAK7 – Complete stock take listing by department.
MULTIPLE STOCK TAKES
The IQ Internal Stock Take has been modified to support multiple stock takes at once. This means that the STAKDATA tables used during Stock Takes, are Stock Take specific. Each active Stock Take has its own
corresponding STAKDATA table. This table contains the captured data saved from each Stock Take sheet. Upon Stock Take cancellation or finalization, this table will be cleared.
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 12 of 60
All Stock Take reports and the Finalization of a Stock Take, only considers the selected Stock Take.
There are however limitations to Concurrent Stock Takes.
WITH MULTIPLE WAREHOUSES DISABLED:
In other words, if Multiple Warehouses have not been enabled in Default Settings (1).
• IQ will not allow more than one FULL Stock Take at a time.
• If a FULL Stock Take is in Progress, no other stock take types will be allowed.
• Concurrent Stock Takes for the same Major Department will not be allowed.
• If a Departmental Stock Take is in progress, BIN Locations Stock Takes will not be allowed.
• Concurrent Stock Takes for the same BIN Location will not be allowed.
WITH MULTIPLE WAREHOUSES ENABLED:
In other words, Multiple Warehouses have been enabled in Default Settings (1).
• Concurrent FULL Stock Takes are allowed given the requirement that the Stock Takes are done for
different warehouses. Concurrent Stock Takes for the same warehouses will not be allowed.
• If a FULL Stock Take is in progress, Departmental and Bin Location Stock Takes will not be allowed.
• Concurrent Stock Takes for the same Major Department will be allowed, given the requirement that
the Stock Takes are done for different warehouses. Concurrent Stock Takes for the same warehouses
will be allowed.
• If a Departmental Stock Take is in progress, Bin Location Stock Takes will not be allowed.
• Concurrent Stock Takes for the same Bin Location will not be allowed.
STOCK TAKE PREPARATION
Always start your Stock Take preparations a few days or weeks before the actual Stock Take, in order to ensure the stock is on the correct shelves or locations.
This will enhance the Stock Take process and ensure problems are illuminated beforehand.
HOUSEKEEPING
The first thing that should be done is to tidy up the counting area. See that all stock items are in the
correcting locations and that the areas are neat and tidy so that it will be easier to count. Pre-counts can be done for bulk stock and stock items that are difficult to count. In other words, if stock comes from the
supplier in boxes of 100, the user can ensure that most of the boxes have 100 in and the open ones will be the only ones to count one-by-one.
NOTE: The system does not allow for more than one stock take to run concurrently. Thus is it
important to ensure that all previous stock takes are either cancelled or finalised (see pages 22 and
32 on the processes on how to do this.)
If you use bin locations, stock lists can be printed to get the stock items without locations.
NOTE: To print a Stock Take preparation list, select the Stock Lists option. Select the Stock Take
List from the available reports.
NOTE: To avoid counting non-stock items, the user can setup a filter for Itemcategory = 1.
NOTE: To change the sort order to Department, might be an easier way to find the stock items.

Select the Filter button
on the bottom of the screen.
Select “press the
button to add a new condition”.
Select “CODE” to open
the selection screen.
Search for the field “ITEMCATEGORY” and
select it.
Click on the <empty>
field and type in a 1 for itemcategory =1, which is used for stock items only.
Click again on “press the button to add a new condition”, as only the stock without bin locations is needed.
Search for the field “BINL” and select it.
Click on “like” and select “is blank”.
Click again on “press the button to add a new condition”, as only the stock on hand can be counted.
By following the above, change “CODE” to “ONHAND” and “equals” to “does not equal” and <empty> to 0 (zero), then select the Save button.
More conditions can be added, like per department or per BINLocation.
NOTE: The conditions that are added into the filter, are case sensitive and character specific.
Click on the Save button to save the filter for future use.
Insert a suitable name for the filter and select OK. The filter that has just been saved will appear in the list of filters on the top right of the
screen under “Available Filters”.
Click then on the APPLY button.
NOTE: Once a filter has been saved, these steps can be skipped and you
only have to apply the filter by
selecting it from the “Available Filters” and double click on it.

The report will show a complete list of every item not allocated to a location. The report can be printed or
exported.
Update the shelve or location information in
IQ either by importing
a .csv (comma delimited) file into Stock Utilities
Stock Price Update, or the stock items can be
updated by selecting each item in Stock
Maintenance Select
the Item and update
the Storage / BIN Location field.
NOTE: Select
Accept after
each change has been made.
TRAINING
People should be trained on what should be counted and the best way to count the items. If relevant, give
stock counters clear guidance on the way they should count, e.g. start at the top shelf and work your way down, while working from left to right.
FLOOR PLAN
Prepare a floor plan of the counting area and mark each location correctly. This is especially helpful when a
full count is being done and bin locations are used.
DOCUMENTATION
Prepare the count sheets and name them correctly, so that each sheet can be captured separately and the items will automatically appear when the count-sheet is entered.
NOTE: Don’t include the current on-hand quantities on the count sheets.
Where relevant, use clipboards to attach the count sheets to, as it is easier to write counts on.
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 15 of 60
Use different colour pens. The audit trail can easily be followed if the first counter uses a blue pen, second
counter uses a red pen and the sheets are submitted to the stocktake coordinator, who uses a purple pen.
All the people involved should know what to do and when the process will start. The counters should also know to count every item of the inventory. No estimations should be allowed.
All stock in transit for the stock items that should be counted, must be processed.
In other words, goods to receive may wait until after the count. Ensure that they are kept separate from the
stock items which should be counted.
EQUIPMENT CHECK
Ensure that all the scanners and printers which will be used for the count are in good working order.
Provide calculators to the stock counters if needed.
READINESS CHECK
Before the count can be started, the user should ensure that everyone knows exactly what to count and what to do. Each person should be in position and all the necessary equipment must be in good working
order.
Don’t allow any distractions like music, as people can lose their concentration while counting.
TEST RUN
Test runs can be done to make sure all the stock is in their correct places and each person knows what to do. Sort out all the hiccups before the live count.
BACKUPS X 2
LIVE COUNT
For a full Stock Take to be accurate, no sales should be done.
If sales are continued during any stock take, the user will have to make the necessary manual adjustments.
Two reports are available to check these sales.
NOTE: If sales are considered while doing a stock take, the most accurate way of capturing the stock will be by using the stock take scanners (Cipherlab scanners). The reason for this is that the
data on the scanners is captured with a date and time stamp next to each line, which will enable the IQ to see if the sale was done before or after the stock was counted.
CHECK AND PRINT REPORTS
Check the physical counted quantities against the on-hand records on the system. Recheck all discrepancies.
CHECK THAT ALL TERMINALS ARE LOGGED OUT
UPDATE RECORDS
Once the user is satisfied that the stock was counted correctly and all discrepancies have been resolved, the
user must make a backup of the system before the stock take can be finalised.

IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 19 of 60
Concurrent Full Stock Takes can only be allowed if Multiple Warehouses are
enabled in Default Settings (1) in Company details, given that the Stock Takes are done for different warehouses.
DEPARTMENTAL STOCK
TAKE
A Departmental Stock Take allows the user to select specific major stock
departments to be counted.
If Multiple Warehouses are disabled in Default Settings (1) in Company
Details, concurrent departmental stock takes can be allowed, given that departments are not duplicated.
If Multiple Warehouses are enabled in Default Settings (1) in Company Details, concurrent departmental stock takes can be allowed, given that the same department is not duplicated for the same warehouse.
If a departmental Stock Take is running, the system will not allow a bin location or full Stock Take for the same warehouse.
BIN LOCATION STOCK TAKE
By enabling the Bin Location, the user can choose a specific Bin location on which the Stock Take will be done.
NOTE: If the multiple bin locations option is not enabled, the user won’t have the option to choose in which location the Stock Take will
take place. Enable the Multiple Bin Locations under Company Default settings (1).
The user must ensure that if a duplicate stock item appears on bin location lists, that it is correct and if they should be added together to get the on-hand value.
CAPTURE STOCK TAKE DATA
FIVE STOCK TAKE METHODS THAT CAN BE USED TO CAPTURE DATA
• Import by selecting random items,
not using a specific range or filter.
• Import a range.
• Import data for a bin location /
warehouse.
• Import data per department.
• Import scanned data. (This is the
most accurate method).
SORT ORDER
The sort order option allows the user
to change the sequence of the existing
items on the screen. The sequence may be changed to Unsorted, Item Code, bin Location, Description, Major or Minor Departments.
CAPTURE PARAMETERS
ENTER THE STORAGE / BIN LOCATION / COUNTSHEET NUMBER
The bin location or count sheet number refers to a sheet number that is used for counting the stock
items in the shelves or storage area and then capturing the data. A bin location is used to enter the actual location of the stock items within the store or on the shelf.
NOTE: A bin location also refers to a storage location.
ENABLE IMPORT OF ZERO QUANTITY
Select Enable Import of Zero Quantity to populate the Count Quantity field with a zero (instead of the same figure as the on-hand quantity). The system will ask for confirmation before continuing.
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 20 of 60
If the user is sure that the system should populate the import of ZERO quantities, retype the
confirmation code and click on OK.
NOTE: The count can be changed to capture the counted quantities.
DISABLE CHECKING ON DUPLICATE ITEMS
Select Disable Checking on duplicate items will not show the message below if the duplicate items option is selected in the count sheet.
EXAMPLE: Coke cans can be stored in more than one bin location in the store, the user will then
allow duplicate items so that all the people counting stock can capture their different counts. The counted quantities will then be added to get the total on hand quantity for the Coke cans.
If the Coke cans were only
stored in one location, the user would want to check that item
codes are not duplicated.
If the Disable checking on Duplicated Items is not ticked,
the system will ask each time a stock code is duplicated, if it should be allowed. The user can then
correct the previous count by adding the second quantity.
CAPTURE STORAGE / BIN / COUNTSHEET
If the user is for example doing a complete Stock Take, it is easier to capture each sheet separately. To
do that the user will number or name each sheet and filter and import only the items listed on the sheet.
Once the counts have been captured and saved, the number or name will appear in this field. In other words, there can be many count sheets per stock take. Each time the user selects a Stock Take, all the
saved sheets for this Stock Take are listed in this field.
To view or edit an existing sheet, the user should enter the selected sheet’s number or name, whereby the items saved on the sheet will appear on the grid.

the drop-down menu.

STOCK MONTH END
WHEN TO RUN END OF MONTH The stock month end function should be done on the first day of the new month,
after the debtors and creditors month ends have been completed. Please note
this is merely a guide line and should be
adjusted per the user’s business needs. Some businesses prefer to run the stock
month end at the beginning of each month so that each month’s totals are
from the 1st to the end of the month. This
in turn reflects exactly what sales figures where done for that calendar month and
not per a debtors or creditors ageing
period.
BACKUPS Prior to month end a backup should be made. Ensure that the data has been backed up before running month end. To make a backup Utilities Backup Data.
Failure to do backups can result in all the information on the system being lost.
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 33 of 60
NOTE: The system will not do an automated backup. This is a manual procedure that must be
done prior to doing stock month end. It is important to do a backup using the Backup Data option
located under the Utilities menu option.
PROCESSING MONTH END At the end of every month the system must be aged. This process clears the transaction file and updates the
historic data on each stock item.
Before the F10 Proceed button can be selected, the options “Have you done your backups?” “Are all users
logged out of the system?” and “Are you ready to proceed?” must be ticked.
Once the appropriate options have been ticked, select the F10 Proceed button or press escape if the user is
not ready to proceed. The user will be given one more chance to cancel the month end process. Before the
user proceeds with the month end procedure, please ensure that all users are logged out of the system AND
do not access the system while the stock month end procedure is busy.
Once the month end is completed, it will return to the stock menu screen. To check that the month end has
successfully been completed, access the Audit Trails & History report located under the stock reports menu.
There should be no information. However, if there is, then the month end procedure failed or was not done.
The backup that was generated under the backup menu should be restored.
STYLES MANAGEMENT INTRODUCTION
Style Management has been designed to assist with the management of stock with the same sizes and colours in a specific style. It is commonly used in the clothing trade, where one would have for example golf shirts in different
sizes and in different colours. One can have small, medium and large golf shirts in blue, but the same sizes also in red and green.
Style Management makes it possible that the user doesn’t have to create each item individually for each size and
colour for each style.
SETUP
There are a few settings to setup for Style Management to work correctly.
ENABLE STYLE MANAGEMENT
If Style Management is
not enabled in the Company Details, the
system will only allow the user to create
normal stock items (each individually).
From the IQ main
menu, select Utilities,
Setup, Company Details and select the
Default Settings (1) tab.
Tick the box next to
the “Enable Style Management” option.
The Style Management
Format is used to
generate a Stock Code
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 34 of 60
during the creation of a new Stock Item, if the setting “Do Style Management” has been enable.
Style Management Format can be set by
selecting the next tab in Company Details, Default Settings (2).
The Style Management Format Symbols
are:
# - Number Character
C – Colour
S – Size
Default Style : ########CCSS
IMPORTANT: Once the Style
Management Format is set, the user should
try to never change it. If the Style Management Format is changed, the system will not recognise the item codes created on the old Format, as
Style Management codes anymore.
NOTE: The quantity of characters in a stock item code is limited to 15 characters. Because some scanners might not be able to scan a 15 character barcode, it is advisable to limit the characters of
stock item codes to 12 characters or less.
NOTE: The user has to make sure that the Style Management format that they use, will be in accordance with the barcode
that they select to use for label printing.
Example of a barcode for a 12 character item code:
In the screen below is how the Style Management Format is selected in Stock Maintenance:
Style Code (#) Size Code (S)
123456780117 Colour Code (C) Style Management Item Code
IQ RETAIL – BP STOCK CONTROLLER – MODULE 4.2 (v2017.03)
IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 35 of 60
NOTE: If the user creates colour or size codes with more than two (2) characters, he will have to
change the Default Style accordingly. More C’s or S’s can be added, just as long as the total characters don’t exceed maximum characters.
For example: The default style can be changed to look like this:
####CCCSSS – in this case the colour codes are limited to 3 (three) characters and the size codes are
limited to 3 (three) characters. The # - number characters for the Style are limited to 4 (four) characters.
Example of a barcode for a 10 character item code:
In the screen below is how the Style Management Format is selected in
Stock Maintenance:
Style Code (#) Size Code (S)
1234123017 Colour Code (C) Style Management Item Code
Select the Accept button on the bottom of the Default Settings (2) screen to save the changes made to the Style Management Format setup.

OTHER HELPFUL SETUPS
A few other setups which will assist in Style Management, are Stock Size Groupings and Stock Colour
Groupings.
STOCK SIZE GROUPINGS
The Stock Size Groupings allow the
user to group Stock
sizes together, so that the user doesn’t have
to look through the whole list of sizes to
find the specific sizes applicable for the stock
items in a specific
style.
For example, if the user wants to add
school shoes to his stock styles, he will
have to use the sizes
used for shoes, like 2 to 14 and not for the
sizes small, medium or large.
When a Stock Size
Grouping is created and used for the
creation of the style, the user will only see the selected sizes in the group and not the whole list of possible
sizes. The user will only be able to select the sizes added to the specific Stock Size Group.
The setup Stock Size Groupings, select Utilities from the IQ main menu and click on Setup. Select the
Module Parameters and then the Stock tab. Select Stock Size Groupings and click on the Setup button on the

whole list of colours to find the specific sizes
applicable for the stock
items in a specific style.
For example, if the
user wants to add school shoes to his
stock styles, he will
have to use the colours used for shoes, like
black or brown and not for the colours white,
pink, etc.

IQ SUNDRY STOCK ITEM
Sundry Stock Items have been implemented to allow for the purchasing of Sundry Items via the Purchase Order
and GRV modules that get allocated to Ledger Accounts on the fly during processing. Sundry stock items will be allowed for all processing modules, hence making the feature generic in design.
An example of where a Sundry Stock Item is used, is when the user gets an invoice from the supplier where
he/she is charged for the stock items bought and for example advertising. One goods receiving document can now
be processed, receiving stock items and charging the advertising expense directly to the Ledger Account.
Another example is when the user buys petrol for company use from a co-op, together with other stock items. The petrol can be booked directly to the ledger account while processing the goods receiving document.
SETUP
The user has to set up
predefined Ledger Accounts for
availability during
processing of Sundry Stock Items.
To set up the
predefined ledger accounts, select
Utilities from the IQ main menu Setup Module Parameters.
Select the Ledger tab Sundry Account
Setup and click on the
Setup button at the bottom of the screen.
The “Select available
accounts for Sundry Items” screen will be
displayed.
All the available ledger accounts are displayed
on the left hand side of the screen. The ledger
accounts that are listed
on the right hand side of the screen, are the ledger accounts which have already been selected for Sundry Ledger Accounts.

right and drop it. Click on the
Accept button when all the accounts have been set, to
save the changes made.
To remove a Sundry Ledger Account, click on the selected
sundry Ledger Account and click on the Delete button on
the bottom of the screen.
A Sundry Stock item needs to be created and this item has
to belong to a Periodic stock
control posting method. It has to be set as a Sundry
Stock Item Type and it must be a Non Stock Item.
To setup a major department
for a Non Stock item, belonging to the Periodic
Stock Control posting
method, from the IQ main menu Utilities Setup
Module Parameters Stock
tab.
The important thing to
remember for this Non Stock major department, is that it
has to belong to a Periodic Stock Control Posting
Method.
CREATE SUNDRY STOCK ITEM
At least one Sundry Stock Item has to be created. Each time the Sundry Stock Item is used, the user will have to select the appropriate ledger account and enter the amount.
To create a new stock item from the IQ main menu Stock Maintenance. To Add a new stock item, the
user has to click on the Add button on the bottom of the screen.
These will be the only ledger
accounts which will be
available to choose from, for
Sundry Stock Items.

The Major Department has to be the NON STOCK DEPARTMENT which belongs to the PERIODIC
STOCK CONTROL POSTING METHOD.
The STOCK TYPE SUNDRY has to be selected.
Clink on the Accept button on the bottom of the screen to save the captured information.
PROCESSING
In the processing modules (includes Invoicing, Credit Notes, GRV, RTS, Purchase Orders, Sales Orders, Quotes, Job Cards), the system allows for the selection of a Stock Item that has been set up as a Sundry
Item. This Sundry Item will post the expense or income directly to the selected ledger account.
When selecting a Sundry Item Non Stock Item in any of the processing documents, the system will prompt the user for selecting of a Ledger Account (as per available accounts for Sundry Accounts under module
parameters).
Upon selection of this account, the system will store the Ledger Account on the relevant line item.
Upon pre-processing a document (i.e. Sales Order, Purchase Order, Job & Quote) the system will save the Ledger Account in the relevant storage tables to ensure that the data is not lost when editing the document
in the future or when converting the document into a final document (ie. Invoice, GRV, RTS, Credit Note).
To change the selected ledger account of a Sundry Item on any of the pre-processing documents (Purchase
Order, Sales Order, Job and Quote), the user has to delete the line and add the Sundry Non Stock Item again to select the correct ledger account and amount.

IQ RETAIL (PTY) LTD © 2017 Page 57 of 60
For a final document
(INV, CRN, GRV, RTS), the processing will be
as follows:
Posting of the stock item transaction to the
Stock Transaction
tables (i.e. Stoctran).
Posting of the Debtor / Creditor Account as.
Posting of the Ledger
Transaction will be in the following sense:
Instead of using the Ledger Account for
Sales / Purchases
(recalling that the item must belong to a
PERIODIC department ONLY) the system will
instead use the selected Ledger Account as it was selected in the processing transaction. This selected account will be used
as the Purchases / Sales account for the Ledger transaction.
All the other settings (such as Ledger Department, Vat Rates etc) will be retrieved from the relevant
Departments and Stock Items – as per normal functionality.
EXAMPLE
We bought sand and the supplier added
advertising costs to the same invoice. As
soon as the Sundry Stock Item is entered
as the next item while
processing the GRV, the user will be
prompted to select the appropriate Sundry
Expense Account
(Ledger Account).
The Sundry Stock
Item will appear on
the GRV printout as the item that was
received.

When a stock enquiry is done on the Sundry
Stock Item, the system will show that there
was a purchase on the item and the reference
number as entered on
the GRV will appear. The onhand quantity
will remain zero (0).
To enable the user to see how the
transaction was processed in the
Ledger accounts, select
the appropriate GRV by clicking on it, click then
on the G-L Audit button at the bottom
of the screen.

The advertising account is debited with the amount of R8, 200-00 (exclusive amount as per invoice).
The creditors control account is updated with the whole amount of the GRV, which correlate to the invoice
received from the supplier.
