Manual Issue notes
The issue note (BS) records a non-sale goods issue: replenishing another stock, correction, stocktake adjustment, assignment to a mission or a POS register. On sync, it decrements the stock concerned (type 8 movement).
Overview
The Issue note records any goods issue that is not a sale. It is mainly used to replenish another stock (POS register, seller stock), to correct a quantity, to record a stocktake adjustment, or to assign equipment to a mission. On synchronization, the source stock is decremented via an issue note preparation movement (type 8).
Business goal
- Issue goods outside the sales circuit
- Replenish a POS register or a seller stock
- Correct or adjust a stock quantity
- Track synchronization with field PDAs
Target audience
- Warehouse staff — prepare and synchronize the BS
- Supply — replenish sellers & registers
- Field sellers — receive via PDA
Position within the Stock module
The BS is an outbound movement, complementary to transfer notes (inter-stock) and return notes (inbound). Module overview: Stock module.

Issue note types
The type determines how the note is used and its entry screen (seller, register or mission target).
Stock replenishment (0)
Replenish another stock (seller, POS register) from the main stock.
Stock correction (1)
Adjust a quantity outside a formal stocktake campaign.
Stocktake (2)
Issue linked to a stocktake adjustment (negative variance observed).
Target & mission
Depending on the type, the note targets a seller or a POS register; a Mission field lets the issue be assigned to a field operation (trade show, route, service call).

| Item | Available stock | Issue qty | Batch / Expiry | ||

| 467802 - SMART SUPERVISOR MODULE | 92.000 | 20.000 | — (simple) |
Batch / expiry mode
If the source stock is managed by batch or by batch + expiry, the line requires batch allocation; only valid (non-expired) batches are offered. See Batch / expiry business rules.
Sync statuses
The PDA sync status indicates where the issue note stands between its preparation at the back office and its handling by the seller's terminal. It is shown as a colored dot.
In preparation
Note entered, ready to be validated / synchronized. Blue indicator.
Pending
Awaiting synchronization with the PDA. Orange indicator.
Synced
Received on the field side; the issue movement is effective. Green indicator.
| Indicator | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| In preparation | Note ready, awaiting validation at the back office. | |
| Pending | Validated, awaiting PDA synchronization. | |
| Synced | Received and confirmed; issue effective. |

Business rules
Stock impact — synchronizing a BS decrements the source stock via an issue note preparation movement (type 8). Stock is only affected at that point.
Replenishment = entry on the target side — a BS of type Stock replenishment feeds the seller or register stock: this is the field replenishment mechanism.
Batch / expiry — on a batch-managed stock, the issue follows the batch allocation; expired batches (or those expiring within 2 days) are hidden from selection.
Validation required — as long as the note remains in preparation, no movement is generated: the issue is only effective after validation and synchronization.

Usage scenarios
Replenish a field seller
The warehouse staff creates a Stock replenishment BS to M. ORABI and validates it: the central stock is decremented and, after PDA synchronization (green), the goods appear in the seller's stock.
Correct a quantity after breakage
Unsold breakage is identified: a Stock correction BS removes the quantity concerned outside a formal stocktake campaign, while tracing the movement.
FAQ & Tips
Stock hasn't moved after the BS ?
The note has probably stayed in preparation (blue indicator): the movement is only generated after validation / synchronization.
No PDF button ?
PDF is disabled for notes intended for a POS register; it remains available for seller / mission BS notes.
Tip — distinguishing correction and stocktake
For a one-off adjustment, use Stock correction; for a full recount, prefer a stocktake campaign (type 6).
