Supported receipt
Receipt value = quantity × verified unit cost. New quantity balance = old quantity balance + quantity. New value balance = old value balance + receipt value. Use the supporting document and do not duplicate the movement from an invoice or note.
Issue and correction
On issue, issue value = quantity × Weighted average cost (CMP); when issuing the entire balance, the exact value balance is used. New quantity balance = old quantity balance − quantity. New value balance = old value balance − issue value. A confirmed operation is corrected through a reversal with the reason documented.
Check the active company, period and editing permission before any confirmation. Follow only steps applicable to the company's legal form and accounting regime.
Supporting documents
- Prepare document supporting the receipt or issue and transaction approval.
- The item record and stock position in the relevant warehouse.
Completing and checking data
- Check the item, unit of measure and warehouses involved before continuing.
- On the ‘Special stock operations’ page, open the transaction and compare movement direction, item, warehouse, quantity, cost and reason with supporting documents.
- Use this page only for a supported transaction with no existing commercial workflow. Do not create a movement parallel to an invoice or till receipt.
- After confirmation, compare the movement in the item record with the stock position. In double-entry accounting, check the journal entry and its posting separately.
The movement has a supporting document and can be tracked in stock and accounting.

Practical example
A stock movement has a purpose other than a sale, purchase or transfer. Choose the operation reflecting the document, check its direction, item, stock location and value, and read its effect before confirming. If no suitable type is available, clarify its classification before forcing it into a similar operation.
Frequently asked questions and solutions
The quantity or value does not match the documents.
Check the date, warehouse, unit of measure and previous movements. Correct the source or reverse a confirmed transaction through its workflow; do not enter a fictitious offsetting movement.
Stock is updated, but the trial balance excludes the transaction.
Check the journal entry exists and is posted. Reconcile stock movements and general-ledger recognition separately.
Document quantity does not match stock. Where should I check?
Compare the item code, unit of measure, stock location and date, then follow movements in the item ledger. Check transfers and already-recorded operations. Do not enter an unsupported adjustment merely to obtain the expected quantity.
