Track Your Inventory | Stock Summary

Stock Summary is a statement of the real-time stock-in-hand on a particular day. It allows you to view profits made from stock sales according to each single stock item or for each group. It is one of the primary inventory statements that gets updated in real-time as and when you record transactions. If you have maintained the inventory in groups, transferred stock for various business needs, sold or purchased stock items, TallyPrime helps you view all of them using the Stock Summary report. Monitoring your profit margins regularly when you do business with your vendors and maintaining your future transactions becomes much easier when you have the value of your profit for each stock item against the sale and purchase price.

Know your stock details: Stock Summary provides information on stock items such as quantity, rate, and opening and closing value of the stock items. You can view the entire stock flow, including goods inward, goods outward, opening stock, and closing stock. Whether it is about stock reordering or stock ageing, you can get the right information about the inventory in your business using this report. You can understand the movement of a particular item day-on-day, month-wise or for any selected period.

Understand sales and purchases of stock: You can view details of the available stock at different locations and make a purchase or sales decision accordingly. A clear view of the purchase and sales order outstanding helps you further decide on the next steps to improve the cash flow in your business.

Know stock-wise profit: When you make business transactions with your vendors, you will need to keep a tab on your profit margins regularly. Understanding the profit value against the sales and purchase value of the items help in maintaining your future transactions. Using the Stock Summary report, you can view the profit made from sales of stock items, individually or per group.

Summarising what you have in stock in terms of quantity and value, this report helps you make vital inventory-related decisions very quickly.

Comparison of Data in Stock Summary Report

For example, if you want to know the value of the stock items you are currently possessing or want to draw a comparison between them in terms of inward flow, outward flow, and closing balances, you can do so in TallyPrime. By analysing the comparison report of stock items in terms of sales, purchases, and closing balances, you can draw a fair conclusion about whether an item stored in your godown is moving fast or slow, most purchased or sold, and so on.

Say you want to compare the closing balance of the stock – under Aerated Water & Biscuits and Wafers.

Know Your Stock Position

Stock position gives you the exact data of your stock items. As you gain a fair idea about the quantity of your stock items, you can accordingly plan if you need to refill the inventory. TallyPrime allows you to know your stock position by knowing the stock in hand or the saleable stock you poses at the moment. You can also know about your pending sales order and purchase orders, in case you need to place an order with your vendors for more stock or you can continue accepting further orders from your customers. Similarly, if you have stored your stock with your third parties or have placed their stock with you, you can know your stock position along with other details, such as their closing balance.

Stock in hand

When your customers place a sales order, you may not be sure of the quantity that is available with you. You will also need to check if there are any pending sales orders. In this case, knowing the stock in hand or the saleable stock will be helpful.

In the Stock Summary report, press F9 (Orders) > select Saleable Stock. If you wish to view the report with due orders only, you can do so by selecting Yes or No and the report will appear.
A sample screen is shown below.

Pending sales orders/purchase orders

Say your customers have placed orders for stock items and you want to know what all orders are pending. In this case:

Press F9 (Orders) > select Sales Orders Outstanding to view all the pending orders.

Knowing this information will help you decide if you can accept further orders or need to place an order with your vendors for more stock.

At times, you may run out of stock and therefore place the required purchase orders with your vendors.

Press F9 (Orders) > select Purchase Orders Outstanding.

This helps you to know the status of the orders before you can commit to your customers for any new sales order.

Stock position based on Godown Type

If you transact with different vendors or parties to manage inventory for business needs like consignment sales or job work, you will certainly need to keep a tab on the overall situation. Depending on the business needs, you may have stored your stock with your third parties or their stock with you. You can filter the Stock Summary report to view the stock position.

Press Ctrl+G (Godown Types) and select an option as needed.

If you have transferred stock to your third party and have maintained a record of the same, on selecting the Our stock with third party option will give you the details of such stock, with their closing balance details.

Assess Value of Stock Items

Each stock item or a group of stock items may have the same or different valuation methods depending on your business. To be able to assess the replacement value or saleable value of your stock, you will need to apply one or more valuation methods across all the stock and compare the values. You can use the Stock Summary report to view the impact of different methods on the value of the stock. You can also know the profit against different stock values.

Say you want to view the values of stock based on last selling rate of the stock and compare with the current stock value. In the Stock Summary report

Press Alt+C (New Column) and select Last Sale Price as the Method of stock valuation.

This displays the closing balance of your stock based on the last sale price of the stock items. You can view the profit against this value by pressing F7 (Show Profit).

A sample image is shown below.

Similarly, you can see the stock values and profits calculated for different valuation methods, and understand which valuation method will suit business.

Press Alt+N (Auto Column) and select Stock Valuation Methods.
