Opening Stock

Opening Stock defines the initial quantity and rate per item for products in a warehouse. These values become the baseline for future stock movement, valuation, and reporting.
Configure opening stock before recording sales, purchases, adjustments, or other inventory transactions. Changing opening stock after transactions begin may require corrections across reports and records.

How validation settings work

When a pending removal setting is enabled, the selected transaction type skips the pending approval stage.This can speed up high-volume workflows where formal approval is not required.
Changing validation settings alters approval flow behavior across multiple modules. Review your business rules and permissions before enabling pending bypass options.
In multi-user environments, consider keeping the pending stage active for high-value or financially sensitive transaction types such as Purchase Bills and Sales Invoices.
