Why do you need stock movements software?

Materials are taken without permission, quantities aren't accurately recorded, site expense goes out of control. Formal workflow solves all this.

No movement control

Worker takes material without recording. A month later - discrepancy between physical and documented. submit → approve workflow prevents.

No audit

Who took what and when? Without centralized log - forensics impossible.

Manual updates

After every movement someone must update Excel. Construction Team does it automatically on approve.

Inventory check mismatch

Physical count shows different stock than recorded. Without formal movements - reconciliation is hell.

Key features of stock movements software

Construction Team formalizes every material transfer with control.

Auto numbering

Generates a unique number for each movement. Sequential, with a type prefix.

Submit → Approve workflow

Create as a draft → submit for approval → approve. Roles separated between creator and approver. Approval requires the manage permission.

Multiple movement types

Inbound (from supplier), outbound (to site), transfer between warehouses, writeoff (removal from stock).

Cancel flow

Cancel a movement with a permission check. A cancelled movement preserves the audit trail.

Auto inventory update

On approve, stock in the corresponding warehouses updates automatically. For batch-tracked items a stock receipt creates a batch, while an issue with no batch picked draws first from the quantity held outside batches, then from the unexpired batch expiring first.

Site and contract integration

Every movement linked to site, counterparty, material. Automatic aggregation in site cost.

How Construction Team works for movements

Four steps from request to recorded movement:

  1. 1

    Create movement

    Create with a type (inbound, outbound, transfer or writeoff), warehouses, material, quantity, prices. Starts as a draft.

  2. 2

    Submit for approval

    Submit for approval - a notification goes to the authorized user.

  3. 3

    Approve or cancel

    An authorized user (with the manage permission) reviews and approves or cancels. With a reason on rejection.

  4. 4

    Auto update

    On approve, stock updates automatically, and for batch-tracked items a receipt, an issue or a transfer moves the batches too. Audit log records everything.

Who is stock movements software for?

Suitable for any firm with active inventory:

Warehouse managers

Formalized control. Stops unauthorized material withdrawals.

Site managers

Record every material taken for site. Accurate cost.

Procurement team

Inbound movements from suppliers - the stock receipt records a batch for items tracked by batch.

Financial control

Every movement = financial operation. Accurate cost attribution per site.

Frequently asked questions about movements

What movement types are supported?

Inbound (from supplier), outbound (to site), transfer (between warehouses), writeoff (removal). Each with different fields and workflow.

Why approval workflow?

To separate roles - one user creates a movement, another (with the manage permission) approves. Control over material assets.

What happens on approve?

Stock updates automatically. For batch-tracked items an approved receipt records a batch, while an issue with no batch picked draws first from the quantity held outside batches, then from the unexpired batch expiring first. A transfer moves the quantity together with its batch - the number and the expiry date come out unchanged in the receiving warehouse.

Can I cancel an already-approved movement?

Not directly. Need new compensating movement (reverse) + cancel of original. Audit trail preserves full history.

How are movements attributed to sites?

An outbound movement requires a site or sub-site. Automatic aggregation in site cost.

Is there mobile-friendly UI?

Yes. Whole app is responsive, works from phone. Warehouse workers can create movements directly from site.

Are documents generated?

Yes. Every approved movement has unique number and audit trail. Can export PDF/Excel for physical record.
