Purpose

This document provides the user with the ability to establish and modify stock status'.  

Prerequisites

There are no prerequisites to setting up stock status'.

Context

Status' are used to mark the availability of a product in the LILAC database.

A good setup to use is to include the week in the status key.

01 BIS - Week 1 Back In Stock
01 TOS - Week 1 Temporarily Out of Stock
01 DIS - Week 1 Discontinued
etc...

This means that you can run the Reports - Stock - By Status report and obtain all the BIS products, or a list of products whose status changed at week 1.
