CCTV Material Issue and Van Stock

Cameras are counted carefully, but cable and connectors are where a CCTV job leaks. This module issues material against the job and counts back whatever returns to the store.

What is issued and counted

Cable and connectors

Coaxial or network cable by metres, BNC and RJ connectors, baluns and joints, issued in the quantity the survey counted.

Power and mounting

Power supplies, adaptors, junction boxes, conduit, casing, clamps, screws and the mounting plate each camera needs.

Devices with serials

Cameras, recorders and disks leave the store with serials noted, so a unit on the wall can be traced to its purchase.

Returns

Part drums, unused connectors and the camera that did not fit come back and join store stock again.

Van or team stock

A van carries a standing set of spares between sites. That stock belongs to the team until it is counted in.

Who uses it

Store keeper

Issues against the job, receives distributor stock, and counts the racks.

Installation technician

Sees what was issued for the site and reports what the job consumed.

Owner

Compares material issued with material quoted, site by site.

Where the figures go

Material issued sits beside material quoted on the job card, so a site that swallowed four extra drums is visible. Store stock falls when a job takes material, and rises when a return comes in or a distributor delivery is received. Items that drop below their level appear on the purchase list. Nothing waits for a month-end count.

What this module leaves out

  • Costing rules for wastage, which the owner sets
  • Whether a technician may issue material to himself
  • Physical security of the van and its spares
  • How scrap cable and dead units are disposed of
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can cable be issued in metres?

Yes. Drums are held by length, and a job takes the metres used rather than a whole drum.

What happens to material left over?

It is returned against the job and added back to store stock, so the next site can draw on it.

Can each van hold its own stock?

Yes. A van or a team can carry a standing set of spares, counted apart from the main store.

Is there a count at month end?

You can run one. Stock figures move as material is issued and received, so a count is a check rather than the record.
