Any discrepancy in the stock levels between the actually available goods and the posted goods can be easily corrected directly by the warehouse personnel who has been given the necessary rights by the user administration NAV/Business Central function using Stock Correction for NAV and Business Central. To this end, the warehouse management software for NAV or Business Central is used to either scan the storage bin and then select the item, or to enter it directly in the item.
With the Stock Correction module, the employee also has the option of using WMS NAV or the warehouse management system for Business Central to enter receipts, removals or make corrections to the actual number of items on hand while mobile.
Similar to the manual method, an inventory record sheet is filled with the relevant parameters in the background and posted in Navision or Business Central. Here, too, the posting of the stock correction is reflected in the product or value items using the WMS for NAV or Business Central and corresponding inventory items are created in MS Dynamics NAV or Business Central.
In case of a detected stock difference, in other words an unintentional discrepancy between the warehouse stock and the stock record with respect to the database, authorized users are able to make a correction.
Any differences in warehouse stock are identified and corrected at least once per year. This process is called an inventory. However, differences in inventories can also often arise during the year, for example because of theft, disposal, stock transfers, or consumption of materials without registration in the ERP system.
If an employee detects discrepancies between the stock record and the warehouse stock during operation, they usually report these to their supervisor so that the latter can make the necessary corrections in MS Dynamics NAV or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
In most cases, these deviations are noted manually and then transferred to Navision or Business Central. To perform a stock correction in NAV or Business Central, MS Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central employ an inventory record sheet. You need to select in this inventory record sheet whether the item in question is a receipt or a removal. Information about the storage location and storage bin code, as well as the quantity difference, is also entered. Another alternative would be to manually enter a removal on the item record sheet.
The stock correction is completed after successful posting in MS Dynamics NAV or Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. This posting is reflected in the product or value items and corresponding inventory items are generated in MS Dynamics Navision or Business Central.
Since stock adjustment in MS Dynamics is based on printed lists and is often performed by a supervisor rather than the employee, stock correction is not done immediately on the spot but instead with a time delay. The result may be that the storage bin in question is still being suggested to employees to pick from (for example order picking), even though there is insufficient stock there. The discrepancy may have already been reported at this point, but hasn’t been recorded yet.
Furthermore, a receipt or issue can only be noted in MS Dynamics NAV and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central using the stock correction. The correction of a stock quantity is completely disregarded. We recommend the use of a mobile warehouse management solution to allow performance of stock corrections in real time with greater flexibility and without changes in media. Mobile entry in MS Dynamics makes the process quick and easy, with digital data capture using barcodes reducing the risk of incorrect entries to a minimum.
