Demo Stock

We want to use one of our Products as a Demo product.  How do we record this?

Solution

Duplicate the product and add Demo to the start of the new product code

If the stock exists in your system

To remove the original item from stock, go to Products / Write Off Product. Enter the serial number if this applied.

Go to Products / Receive Products and enter in the Demo product code. Entering the serial number if required.

When Receipting the product from the Supplier Invoice

Duplicate the product code as above and use the Demo code to receipt the stock in.  

Financial Journal

To remove the value of the Demo item from Purchases, and add to your Plant, do a Financial Journal, this will prevent the value of the Demo item being added to your stock valuation report.

Record Usage

When the Demo product is given out, create a job and add the product code to the job.  

Selling the Demo Stock

When it is time for the Demo Stock to be sold, use the product code and discount the retail price back as required.

Enter a Financial Journal when selling the Demo item, to add the value back to Purchases and remove from Plant.
