Physical stock takes

All departments with stores (regardless of whether they are using the Inventory modules in UFS) are required to complete a physical stock count as at 31 July.

It is essential that all receipting into stores and issues from stores are up to date at year end so an accurate stock take can be completed on the last day of the financial year.


Inventory module users only

  • Enter results of stock count on the Inventory module - reviewing any material variances.
  • Ensure all receipts and issues of stock up to 31 July are processed. This includes issues to or returns from research grants.
  • Review and resolve any pending transactions.
  • Inform the Inventory helpdesk of any miscellaneous processing that is required.

Central and Research Accounting

Central and Research Accounting will:

  • carry out GL transfers (Inventory to GL)
  • process miscellaneous transactions on request
  • reconcile the Inventory and General Ledger valuations and provide departments with the reconciliation documents.
