Stock Tab

The Stock Tab will only be visible if the Part Type for this Part is Stock.

This screen, with multiple details, is a DataView, where you can adjust the layout, print or export the data (see DataView Menu). There may also be a header panel above for the "parent" of the details, or a DataView Footer below.

Since the first row in the details says, "Click here to add new...." this is a Direct Data Entry screen, where you add or make changes to the lines themselves, using the Data Entry Icons and Paging Icons at the bottom.

•	The Inventory quantity information (Qty In Stock and Qty On Order) for the indicated Warehouse is updated by calculations whenever you Process the Part from Inventory onto a Work Order, Create a Purchase Order or Receive Purchase Orders.

Note: These updates happen even if a starting Qty in Stock was never entered for a new Part.

Note: Negative quantities should always be reviewed during manual inventory recounts, with reference to Parts On Order and Quantity Allocated, as shown on the Parts Warehouse Tab.

•	Click on a detail line to maintain the fields there and use the Tab key to travel to the field desired:
