The Stock Maintenance program is a utility that helps you edit parts in your Stock Master File in a grid format.

Being in a grid format makes it easier to make broad changes to groups, price groups and bin locations for example without having to open a single stock master file record at a time. You can also view a range of parts by selecting the order i.e. Item Number, Supplier, Group and Location. The selection can then be enhanced by selecting an item range, supplier and group.

Select Product Type

The list can be filtered into the different classifications of item types. Among these are:

Stock -General Parts

Consumables -Parts setup as the Type Consumable (see Stock Master File Types for further details)

Fuel Stock -for Service Station

All items   will show all of the above
