Introduction

Welcome to this guide where we will guide you through the process of managing the ‘Insufficient Stock Error’ in the Empress Delivery Note module. This feature is vital for businesses as it ensures accurate stock level checks, thereby preventing discrepancies in inventory management.

Feature Overview: The Stock Level Check

The Stock Level Check is a key feature within the Empress system. It tracks the availability of items in your warehouse based on the Posting Date and Time specified in the Delivery Note. This means that while you might have sufficient stock in the current date, an error might occur if you’re creating a Delivery Note with a backdated Posting Date and Time.

Identifying the Issue: Using the Stock Ledger Report

To identify if the Posting Date and Time is the cause of the error, you can use the Stock Ledger report. This is a comprehensive report that tracks the flow of stock, recording each transaction’s Posting Date and Time.

To view the Stock Ledger report:

  1. Navigate to the ‘Reports’ section in Empress.
  2. Select ‘Stock Ledger’ from the list of available reports.
  3. Search for the item with the reported error.
  4. Cross-reference the Posting Date and Time with the one on your Delivery Note.

If your Delivery Note’s Posting Date and Time is at a point when the item was not available in the stock, you’ve found the cause of your error.

Fixing the Issue: Adjusting the Posting Date and Time

To fix this issue, you need to adjust the Posting Date and Time on your Delivery Note. Here’s how:

  1. Open the Delivery Note with the reported error.
  2. Set the Posting Date and Time to a point after the item’s receipt entry, as per the Stock Ledger report.
  3. Save and submit your Delivery Note.

By doing this, you ensure that the Empress system recognizes the item as available at the time of delivery, thus eliminating the ‘Insufficient Stock Error’.

Conclusion: Enhancing Business Operations with Empress

Understanding and effectively managing the ‘Insufficient Stock Error’ in the Empress Delivery Note module is crucial for smooth business operations. This feature ensures accurate inventory management, preventing potential issues that could affect your business operations.
