QMS provides the tools necessary for stock taking, reconciling the calculated "stock on hand" against physical stock, and tracking down stock discrepancies.

QMS calculates the stock at any location as follows:

Quantity of material delivered
Less    Quantity of material sent out on movement dockets
Plus    Quantity of material accepted on movement dockets

Equals    Stock on hand at location

The total quantity of stock on hand for the project is summated from the stock on hand quantities at each location.
