We have recently started a new company on sage and are taking the old stock from the old company and adding this into the new company. Some of the stock has been booked in using the purchase order system without cost prices and now when I add the prices in, run the stock valuation report these products do not show up. Does anyone know how I would correct this.

Take the stock out and put it back in.

Hi.

This sounds similar to a problem we're having. Some stock shows up in the products window but not in the STKTAKE(1,2&3) reports.

What's the best way to take the stock out and put it back in without losing the product's information?

Alex.

Stock adjustments would only alter the last cost price.

What you can do is export the stock records, make your adjustments and then import them back to reset the last cost price.

Thanks for replying.

Will this take all products out and ensure that they are all then visible in the stock report?

Can this be done in practice data?

I don't quite understand, or perhaps I did not explain clearly.

You need to establish why the products are in stock at the wrong price first.
Assuming it is because it was entered into stock at the wrong price, you need to take the quantity out of stock (using an adjustment out) and then put it back into stock using an adjustment in, only this time, put the correct cost price on the item when you adjust it in.

If you are familiar with CSV files, you can build a pair of stock transaction csv format files to do all the adjustments out and in and do the whole thing for thousands of products in one go. As you have only just started I guess you can do it manually as you can only have a few product transactions to rectify.
