Stock Take and Transaction Date

[avocado]

Hi,

I did a stock take in June and generated the proper files from the system using StockCheck.php, now it took me some time to finally enter the stockcount done on that date into the system, however all transactions and adjustment done by PDFStockCheckComparison.php are entered in todays date!

Shouldn't this be on the date of the actual file creation rather than todays date?

And as a result, if I do the stock take on 31/Dec. and enter the count during Jan, will the stock adjustment be entered for the new year? not at the end of last year?

My main concern is the impact of this on PNL at the end of the year if the transaction is recorded for the new year!

Thanks for any help offered.

You can of course always do a reversing general ledger journal to make the $ value appear in the month when the stock check was initiated.
However, as the stock quantities have moved subsequently - the adjustment can not be processed "back dated" without recalculating all the movements subsequently.
