GO4STOCK

GO4STOCK: school stock, from purchase order to inventory

GO4STOCK tracks stock end to end: items, categories and locations, movements, physical stock counts, internal requests, price requests, purchase orders, deliveries and supplier invoices. It also serves as the store for the canteen and the sick bay.

An item catalogue with alert thresholds

The catalogue is organised by categories, and each item has its thresholds and valuation method. Locations describe the stores, cupboards and rooms where stock is kept. Receipts, issues and transfers are recorded and follow their workflow; movements created automatically by other modules are easy to recognise. The dashboard shows what the stock is worth, what is missing, what moves over the financial year and what is on order.

From quotation to supplier invoice

A price request consults several suppliers and compares their quotations. The purchase order is created, approved, marked as sent and printed. On delivery, the storekeeper records what is received, accepted or refused, then validates to bring the stock in. The order's invoice is checked and approved, and its expense is followed in GO4SXPENSE until payment. Procurement statistics show orders, deliveries to receive, delays and low stock.

Stock counts and group-wide stock

A stock count is planned, counted area by area, then discrepancies are decided and the stock corrected. Requests from the canteen and the sick bay arrive in the store's inbox. In a group of schools, a single stock can serve every school, kept in one host school. Suppliers have their own record, with the items they deliver, and the supplier list can be exported. An item no longer in use can be deactivated, and the catalogue and each item record can be exported too.

Frequently asked questions

Does the software flag items running out?

Yes. Each item has its thresholds, and both the dashboard and procurement statistics show low stock.

How does a stock count work?

The count is planned, carried out area by area, then each discrepancy is decided before the stock is corrected.

Can the canteen request products from the store?

Yes. GO4SCATERING sends its requests to the GO4STOCK store, which receives them in its inbox; the sick bay does the same to restock its pharmacy.

Are supplier invoices paid from the module?

The invoice is recorded and approved in GO4STOCK; its expense is then followed in GO4SXPENSE until payment.
