Stock items are the result of a contract with a Vendor who is providing goods or services. The Stock items are a prerequisite for the Requisition creation process. It is the Stock item which feeds the details to the Shopping Cart requisition process.
When a user requests a stock item, the description, unit of measure and price are retrieved from the stock file, with the option to view a corresponding image of the stock item.
The tendering process relies on the historical stock purchases to form a base line for quantities on a new tender.
Using the Stock Import process, new tenders can be imported to the stock file.
