This chapter contains these topics:
To understand temperature and density conversions for bulk products
To understand how to account for commingled stock
To understand the types of intra-depot stock movements
To record the different types of intra-depot stock movements
To calculate ambient volume and weight and convert to standard volume and weight
To calculate and record gains and losses associated with intra-depot stock movements
Intra-depot stock movements track inventory within a depot. The primary transactions, receiving new product and selling to customers, add or decrease inventory into and out of a depot.
You record an intra-depot stock movement whenever you need to account for stock that can no longer be accounted for in the location or container to which it was previously assigned.
A single intra-depot movement can be a "from" transaction, a "to" transaction, or both, and can have multiple lines for each entry. "From" transactions reduce inventory in a location. "To" transactions increase inventory in a location.
Before you can record volumes, you might need to calculate them from dip readings or weighbridge information. The system performs conversions in order to record volumes for bulk stock based on a standard temperature.
Complete the following tasks to record intra-depot stock movements:
Understand volume measurement and conversion
Understand commingled stock
Record intra-depot stock movements
Calculate volume from dip readings (optional)
Calculate volume from weighbridge information (optional)
