How to use the Intelligent Stock control feature.
IMPORTANT
For the Intelligent Stock feature to work there must be two or more stocktakes logged in the system. To perform a stocktake refer to, Stocktake App.
IMPORTANT
After the Intelligent Stock feature has been enabled, the calculations are carried out automatically overnight and a Theoretical Quantity column has been added to Stock tables.
Accessing Stock
Navigate to Kitchen Manager > Stock > Template View.
How is Intelligent Stock Calculated?
The assumed stock volume is calculated as follows:
Actual Opening Stock (for each ingredient)
+ Purchases of that ingredient (orders marked as delivered between the last stocktake and current stocktake)
+ Transfers In (for each ingredient)
– Transfers Out (for each ingredient)
– Assumed usage of that ingredient (calculated as the volume of ingredients ÷ the number of portions from the detailed recipe per menu item X the Number of meals taken)
The table below provides working examples of the assumed usage calculations:

Previous Stocktakes
The Filter Dates list [1] will show the dates previous stocktakes were completed on the kitchen tablet, Stock with be calculated by adding/subtracting the quantities from these stocktakes.
For Example, the 21 Mar 2022 Filter will show assumed stock values calculated by taking the starting quantities from the 12 May 2021 stocktake and adding/subtracting quantities of meals, orders, and stock transfers until 21 Mar 2022.
IMPORTANT
Intelligent Stock quantities will not be shown for the ‘Now’ filter because the values will change continuously.
