One store engine —
and one stock ledger
for the whole plant

Receipts, transfers, issues, reservations, WIP, finished goods and kitting all run through one store engine, and every module posts into one stock ledger. So on-hand quantity, lot and per-bin stock, and inventory valuation reflect every movement from purchase, production and sales — not a set of registers that quietly disagree.

How it works

From a goods receipt to a
valued stock ledger in five steps

Every gram of stock enters, moves and leaves as a store document — and lands in one ledger the whole plant reads from. New to ERP inventory? Start with our guide, what is ERP software.

Receive (REC)
A goods receipt posts incoming stock into the store against its purchase order, with quantity and bin
Put away to lot & bin
Assign a lot or pallet and a bin — per-bin stock and the pallet-to-bin history update together
Reserve & issue (RES / ISS)
Reserve stock against an order so it can't be double-booked, then issue it to the shop floor
Transfer & build (TRA / FGM)
Move stock between stores or bins, book WIP, and receive finished goods back into the store
Ledger & analyse
Every movement lands in the stock ledger (STCKLG), feeding ABC, valuation and stock MIS
01 — One Store Engine

Every movement is the
same kind of document

Stock doesn't move in a dozen unrelated ways. A goods receipt (REC), a transfer (TRA/DOT), an issue (ISS), a reservation (RES), work-in-progress (WIP), a finished-goods movement (FGM) and a kit (KIT) are all documents on one store engine. Because they share a header-and-line shape, there is one consistent way stock enters, moves and leaves — and one place to cancel, correct or trace a movement. A purchase GRN and a production WIP transfer speak the same language.

Cancel or correct a store transaction with a full audit trail
Movements stored as header and lines on the shared store tables

02 — Lot, Pallet & Per-Bin Stock

Not just how much —
which lot, in which bin

Total on-hand is rarely enough. A lot or pallet is a real unit of physical stock, carrying its own number (LPN), production date and expiry. Its location and status are held as an append-only pallet-to-bin history, where the latest row is where the lot is right now, while a separate per-bin balance answers "what is actually in bin A-04-2". A quick bin transfer re-slots a pallet without changing which store owns it. That lot detail is what lets quality quarantine or release stock by batch, and what a warehouse-grade deployment relies on.

03 — One Stock Ledger

Every module posts to the
same stock ledger

This is the idea the whole module turns on. When purchase raises a GRN, when production books WIP and transfers finished goods, and when sales dispatch ships against a challan, each one posts a movement into the same stock ledger (STCKLG) and the same per-bin balance — nothing keeps a private register on the side. So on-hand quantity and inventory valuation reflect every movement across the plant at once, and the number stores see is the number accounts and Tally see. Stock transfers and bin transfers land in the same log, so a movement is always traceable end to end.

Valuation reflects every receipt, issue, transfer and FG movement

04 — ABC, Valuation & Stock MIS

One ledger in —
every stock report out

Because every movement is captured in one place, the analysis is trustworthy rather than reconstructed. ABC analysis ranks items by value or consumption into A, B and C classes so effort goes where the money is. Valuation totals current stock at cost for the balance sheet. Non-moving and slow-moving reports surface items that haven't moved — or barely move — over a period, so working capital stops sitting on the shelf. The same ledger drives stock MIS and the inventory role dashboards in Dhruv AI, so purchase, stores and finance argue from one set of numbers.

Everything Inventory & Stores covers

One Store Engine

Receipts, transfers, issues, reservations, WIP, finished goods and kitting all run as documents of the same shape, so stock enters, moves and leaves one consistent way.

Lot & Pallet Tracking

Track stock by lot or pallet with its own LPN, production date and expiry, and follow every pallet through an append-only pallet-to-bin location history.

Per-Bin Stock

Hold a live balance for every bin, not just an item total, so you know exactly where stock sits and can re-slot a lot with a quick bin transfer.

One Stock Ledger

Every movement from purchase, production and sales posts to a single stock ledger, so on-hand quantity and valuation reflect the whole plant at once.

Stock & Bin Transfer

Move material between stores or locations as a store document, and re-slot lots between bins — both traceable in the same ledger.

ABC, Valuation & MIS

Rank items into A / B / C classes, value stock at cost, surface non-moving and slow-moving items, and drive stock MIS from one trusted ledger.

"Stores stopped keeping its own tally. Now a receipt, an issue and a dispatch all land in one stock ledger — so the on-hand number, the bin and the valuation are the same everywhere we look."

Inventory & Stores FAQs

What is the "one store engine" in Fast ERP?

Every physical stock movement — a goods receipt (REC), a transfer (TRA/DOT), an issue (ISS), a reservation (RES), work-in-progress (WIP), a finished-goods movement (FGM) or a kit (KIT) — is a document on one store engine. Because receipts, issues, transfers, WIP and FG all run through the same engine, there is one consistent way stock enters, moves and leaves, and one place to see it. A purchase GRN and a production WIP transfer are the same shape of document.

Does every module really post to one stock ledger?

Yes. A purchase GRN posts a receipt, production posts WIP and finished-goods movements, and sales dispatch posts an outward movement — all into the same stock ledger (STCKLG) and the same per-bin balance. Nothing keeps a private register on the side, so on-hand quantity and inventory valuation reflect every movement at once, and stores, accounts and Tally see the same number.

Can it track stock by lot or pallet and by bin?

Yes. A lot or pallet is a unit of physical stock with an LPN, production date and expiry. Its location and status are held as an append-only pallet-to-bin history, where the latest row is the current position, while a separate per-bin balance holds the live quantity in each bin. So you can answer both "what is in this bin" and "where is this lot right now" — the detail an automotive supplier needs for batch traceability.

What is the difference between a stock transfer and a bin transfer?

A stock transfer (TRA/DOT) moves material between stores or locations as a store document and posts to the ledger. A bin transfer is a lighter move of a lot or pallet from one bin to another within a store — a re-slotting that updates the per-bin balance and the pallet-to-bin history without changing which store owns the stock. Both stay traceable in the same stock ledger.

How do ABC analysis, valuation and slow-moving reports work?

Because every movement is captured in one ledger, ABC analysis ranks items by value or consumption into A, B and C classes, valuation totals current stock at cost, and non-moving and slow-moving reports surface items with no or low movement over a period. The same ledger feeds stock MIS and the inventory dashboards in Dhruv AI, so the numbers agree with what finance and purchase see.
