Stock Management (Desktop App)

The Stock Report Writer has a lot of information that can be used to show the bigger picture of stock in the practice. The Stock Report Writer’s report can be drawn per single item, per a list of items or for all the items that have movement.

The Stock Report Writer is used for stock on hand; which will show the stock that the practice currently has and will always include the totals until today. This report will also be used for the financial auditors and will be included in management reports.
