Branch requests filled late
Branches ask by phone, and the warehouse has to work out what is needed before anything moves.
Warehouse and stock control
ERPNext inventory management
The ERPNext Inventory module handles items, warehouses, stock counts and stock movements, linked to sales and purchasing.
Stock you can count on
Items, warehouses, batches and serial numbers, with every stock movement on record.
Reorder levels Batch and serial tracking Stock reconciliation Linked to accounts
For warehouse teams in Saudi Arabia
Stock reconciliation in ERPNext
The count comes back and doesn’t match the system. The spreadsheet can’t tell you why, and the gap widens as items, warehouses and orders grow. In ERPNext, every receipt, transfer and delivery posts to the Stock Ledger, and a Stock Reconciliation brings the books back in line with the shelf.
- One item master shared by every warehouse
- Actual and projected quantity per warehouse
- Purchase Receipts and Delivery Notes move stock against their orders
- Serial number and batch tracking
- Stock counts posted through Stock Reconciliation

Inventory software in Saudi Arabia
Warehouse management software for receiving, transfers, deliveries and counts, whether you run one warehouse or several branches.
Operational challenges
Material requests between branches
A branch raises a Material Request. The warehouse sees it next to current stock and either transfers the items or passes the request to purchasing. Anyone can check where it stands.
Balances that don’t agree
Each branch reports its own number. Transfer stock or buy more? Hard to say.
Requests scattered across channels
Requests arrive by call, message and paper. Some get forgotten; others get placed twice.
Weak coordination between teams
Branch, warehouse and purchasing each keep their own list, and chasing eats the day.
After delivery
Installation notes in inventory
Some products still need installing after they leave the warehouse. An Installation Note records what was installed at the customer’s site, with the item, serial number, quantity and status, and ties it back to the delivery.
Installation status recorded Record the item, quantity and installation status at the customer site.
Customer and site on record Record the customer and the address where the item was installed.
Tied to the delivery Each Installation Note is created from its Delivery Note.
After-sales service Serial numbers recorded at installation help when a warranty claim comes in later.
Operational features
Landed Cost Voucher in ERPNext
The Landed Cost Voucher adds freight, customs, insurance and other purchase charges to the cost of your items, so stock value in your accounts reflects what you actually paid.
Stock valued at landed cost
Freight and customs are added to each item’s valuation rate instead of being booked as a separate expense.
Pricing based on actual cost
Set selling prices from what the item really cost to get into your warehouse.
Posted to your accounts
Submitting the voucher revalues the stock and posts the adjustment to your accounts.
Supply costs tracked
Freight, customs and service charges are recorded against the Purchase Receipt they belong to.
How landed cost is allocated
1
Item Pick the Purchase Receipt for the goods.
2

3

4
Accounts The adjustment posts to accounts and reports.

Why IBAN for inventory?
Inventory projects usually go wrong in the item master: duplicate codes, the wrong units, warehouses that don’t match the building. We sort that out with you before the first receipt is posted.
