I started using Sage 50 Accounts at the end of 2012 and I am just doing my first stock take. The business sells parts but also use them for refurbishing items. As the parts have been taken out of stock for refurbs they have not been recorded as yet so this brings me to two issues:-
1. The items already taken out - the stock will be reduced on the stock take so I will cost these up and allocate to the appropriate cost code in Sage.
2. Going forward I want the adjustments to be recorded as and when they happen in future. Has anyone done anything similar? I am looking for the best way to do this and the only idea I have at the moment is to set up a Project for repairs.
For anyone else with a similar problem - the answer is there is no quick fix. Do an Adjustment Out with a suitable description then run a monthly Product Activity report to get your figures for posting to the relevant nominals. Couldn't get through to Sage last week what with it being tax year end I presume. Got through today and this is the answer! It would have been nice if there was a magic solution that meant no work involved but what's the chance of that!
You could use a BOM to convert the original parts into the new parts which you then sell.
