Stock Entry
Moves stock: Material Receipt, Issue, Transfer, Manufacture, Repack. Receipts debit Stock; issues credit Stock against an expense or difference account.
In detail
Stock Entry is the all purpose stock document for movements that are not a purchase or a sale, and its Purpose decides the posting. Material Receipt brings goods in and posts Dr Stock In Hand, Cr Stock Adjustment (or Temporary Opening for opening stock). Material Issue takes goods out for consumption or scrap and posts Dr the expense or difference account, Cr Stock In Hand. Material Transfer moves between warehouses; if both map to Stock In Hand the ledger nets to zero but the Stock Ledger records the move. Manufacture consumes raw materials and receives finished goods, carrying the cost across plus additional costs; Repack does the same for splitting packs. Submitted entries lock; cancel reverses, amend makes a copy.
Formula
Material Receipt value = qty x basic rate; Manufacture finished goods value = raw material value consumed + additional costs
