Godown and Display Stock for Tile Showrooms

Boxes are counted by rack and bay in the godown, apart from the pieces fixed on the showroom boards. The counter and the godown read one figure.

How stock is held

By series, size and lot

Every box belongs to a series, a size and a lot, so a count is never just a heap of tiles under one brand name.

By rack and bay

The godown position is part of the record. A loader sent for twelve boxes of a wall series is told where to walk.

Display apart from sellable

Pieces screwed to a board or set into a bathroom mock-up are marked as display. They are not stock that a site can be promised.

Sanitaryware and fittings

WC and basin pieces, cisterns and carton stock of fittings are held the same way, by model and by shelf.

What moves stock

Stock rises when a company load is received against a purchase order. It falls when a challan is raised and the lorry pulls out for a site. Returns from site put boxes back, and breakage takes them out with a reason. Every movement names the document behind it. A physical count can be entered as a correction, and the difference stays on the record instead of being quietly absorbed.

Reorder levels and slow series

Below level

A reorder level is set for each size that sells steadily. Sizes under their level appear on the purchase list.

Slow series

Series with no movement for a long stretch are listed for the owner, who decides whether to discount them or send them back.

A second godown

Where there is more than one godown, each keeps its own count, and the counter can read what the other holds.

What the client decides

  • Rack and bay names, and how finely the godown is divided
  • The reorder level for each size and sanitaryware model
  • Who may enter a physical count correction
  • How long without movement marks a series as slow
  • Whether one branch can read another branch’s boxes
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can a physical count be entered?

Yes. The counted figure goes in, the difference is shown, and the record holds who entered it and when.

Are display pieces counted as stock?

No. They sit in a display count of their own, so a board is not sold out from under the showroom.

Does it work with a barcode scanner?

It can, where boxes carry a readable code. Labels can also be printed for series that arrive without one.

Can two godowns be kept separate?

Yes. Each has its own count and its own racks, and a transfer between them is recorded as a movement.
