New Stock Wizard

This wizard is used to tell BookStore that you have an item of stock that it does not already know about. Generally speaking, this wizard is used in cases where you purchase stock from somewhere other than a supplier, and wish to capture that information. It is not normally used for stock control (use the stock take wizard instead).



The first screen (above) lets you select a product that you want to add to stock. If the product is not listed, it is because the product is new to BookStore. Cancel the wizard, and add the product to BookStore. Once you have selected a product, you can click on the "next" button.

The second screen (below) lets you optionally select a purchase order. The idea here is that if your supplier delivers surplus stock, which you choose to keep (optionally paying additionally for it, depending upon your relationship with your supplier), you can then link it to that purchase order for future reference.



The third screen (below) is where you enter information about the cost of this new stock. The date, price and comment fields are mandatory. If you selected a PO in the previous screen, it will be shown on this screen as the "Linked to PO" field. When you click on the finish button, the wizard will create the stock item as well as an outgoing payment for the value you specified on the last screen. That outgoing payment will be linked to the stock item.
