What it is

What is a damaged stock record?

A damaged stock record is a record used in KnowLogistics that records stock damaged in storage or handling, how it happened and what was done with it. It is built against ISO 9001 cl.8.7 and forms part of the Inventory Accuracy programme.

When to use it

When to use it, and when not to

This record is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.

Use it for

  • The event or activity this record covers has occurred, or is about to
  • The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
  • You are running the Inventory Accuracy programme and this is one of its steps
  • A linked record needs this one to exist: feeds inventory adjustment and racking inspection

Not for

  • Cycle Count Record, which counts a defined slice of stock while operations continue, rather than shutting the site once a year.
  • Stock Count Variance Investigation, which investigates why a counted quantity did not match the system quantity, before anybody adjusts it.
  • Inventory Adjustment Authorisation, which authorises a change to a system stock figure, with the reason and the evidence behind it.
  • Anything outside KnowLogistics, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process

Record

Cycle Count Record

Counts a defined slice of stock while operations continue, rather than shutting the site once a year. Run on a rolling schedule. Completed by the counter with an independent recount on variance. A blind count is the only count worth doing.

Record

Stock Count Variance Investigation

Investigates why a counted quantity did not match the system quantity, before anybody adjusts it. Raised on any variance above tolerance. Completed by the inventory controller. Adjusting without investigating turns a process problem into a monthly write off.

Record

Inventory Adjustment Authorisation

Authorises a change to a system stock figure, with the reason and the evidence behind it. Raised whenever stock is written on or off. Approved above the person requesting it. Unauthorised adjustment is the most common route for stock loss to be hidden.

Inspection

Stock Location Audit

Checks that what the system says is in a location is actually in that location, and nothing else is. Run per zone on a schedule. Carried out by the inventory controller. Location accuracy fails long before quantity accuracy does.

Checklist

Expiry and Rotation Check

Checks that stock is being rotated correctly and that nothing is approaching or past its date. Run per zone on a schedule. Carried out by the area owner. Rotation failures show up as customer complaints weeks after the mistake.

Record

Consignment Stock Reconciliation

Reconciles stock held on site but owned by somebody else, or held elsewhere but owned by you. Run monthly per arrangement. Completed by the inventory controller. Consignment is where two sets of books disagree quietly for a year.
