From an accounting point of view, moving goods between warehouses is only a change in the value of the subconto (analytics). The goods must remain in the same accounting account (for example, 41.01) and at the same price (cost). Let's look at step-by-step instructions on how to move goods in 1C 8.3.
Everything described below is true not only for goods, but also for materials, semi-finished products, finished products and other goods and materials.
The movement can be completed using a document of the same name, which is located in the “Warehouse” menu:
The document header is simply filled out:
In 1C Accounting 8.3, movement of goods is possible in three options:
- between warehouses;
- transfer to retail trade;
- (on off-balance sheet accounts);
- movement of return goods.
Let's look at each of them in more detail.
Between warehouses and retail
The simplest and most common way. To do this, on the “Products” tab, you need to fill in the quantity of goods for transfer and:

Please note that if you transfer goods that are not in the warehouse/organization/on the accounting account, then “minuses” will be included in the accounting. It is important to check which account and warehouse the goods are currently in.
Let's look at the postings that generated the document for the movement of goods:
As you can see, in all postings, only the second sub-contact – “warehouse” – has changed.
You can also see that the first two entries have a filled “Amount” (the transfer price was formed at cost), but the third does not. This example clearly shows what will happen if you move a product that is not in stock.
Transfer of goods to retail
In order to make a transfer to a retail store or NTT, just select the desired retail warehouse in the “Recipient” field in the document header.
Returns from retail to a wholesale warehouse in 1C occur according to the same scheme; naturally, the warehouses are swapped.
The prices at which the goods will be sold at a retail outlet are indicated using the document ““. The retail price type is set individually for the warehouse:
Product report in 1C Accounting 8.3
The commodity report in the 1C Accounting 8.3 program is a unified form TORG-29, approved by Decree of the State Statistics Committee of December 25, 1998 No. 132. The form is used for balance accounting of goods and allows you to control the movement of inventory items and balances in warehouses.
TORG-29 is drawn up by the financially responsible person who receives and releases the goods, and is then transferred to the accounting department in two copies. The accountant monitors the commodity report and primary documents, marks receipt and returns a copy of the report to the financially responsible person.
Let's take a closer look at the features of creating a report. Let's first look at the system settings. The report will be generated only for organizations that keep records of retail goods at sales value. This setting is set in the organization's accounting policy for navigation: Main / Settings / Accounting policy.
To generate a report in the 1C Accounting 8.3 program, you need to follow the navigation path: Sales / Reports / Product report (TORG-29).
The person responsible for generating documents sets the required period and warehouse, then clicks the “Generate” command.
Selection by the “Warehouse” field is mandatory. The standard functionality of the program does not provide the ability to display a report on several warehouses of an organization. It should be noted that the warehouse must be of the “Retail store” or “Manual outlet” type. Accordingly, the warehouse selection form opens with programmatic selections for the “Warehouse type” field, and wholesale warehouses are not displayed in the list. If the user does not find the warehouse of interest in the selection list, it is necessary to additionally check this detail and the correctness of filling out the warehouse card.
Also in the top panel of the form, the user is given the opportunity to fill in the product report number. Numbering is carried out from the beginning of the year.
After clicking the “Generate” command, the specified number will be displayed in the report, and the automatic counter will increase the value of the “Document Number” field for the next report by 1 unit.
The details of the organization in the form are filled out from the “Organizations” directory, namely:
Name of company;
According to OKPO;
Type of activity according to OKDP.
Editing this information is available via the navigation path: Home / Settings / Organizations.
The commodity report includes information on all incoming and outgoing movements of goods in the selected warehouse for a specified interval, which is presented in the form of a table with the columns below:
- Name (element of the directory “Nomenclature”);
- Date (date of the document recording the transaction, the report is displayed in the context of movement documents);
- Number (register document number);
- Product amount (amount from the “Products” tabular section of the movement document)
- The amount of containers (the amount from the tabular section “Returnable containers” of the movement document)
- Accounting notes (fields for accountant's comments).
By clicking the “Print” button, the responsible user opens the report preview window and sends it to print.

In the simplest and most common cases, when goods are moved, the accounting account does not change. In accounting, only subcontos are changed that reflect the location - warehouse. In this article we will look at how to move goods between warehouses, to a retail warehouse, as well as work with consignment goods.
You can find this document in the “Warehouse” section.
From warehouse to warehouse
In principle, filling out a relocation document is very simple. In the header, indicate the warehouses of the sender and recipient. It is also possible to move goods between departments.
Below, on the “Products” tab, list all moving goods and materials and their quantity. We will use the “Selection” button, although you can add products here manually.
A product selection form opened in front of us. It is very simple and convenient to work in it. The directory groups are displayed on the left side, and the items themselves with the balance in the sending warehouse are displayed on the right. In the settings on this form, we can choose to display only products with a non-zero balance. When you double-click on the line with the desired product, a window appears for entering the quantity to be moved.
All positions with their quantity that you have selected are displayed in the lower table. Once you are done with your selection, click on the “Move to Document” button.
The tabular part is filled in and the invoices are entered automatically. We will not change them. All that remains is to hold the document and see what movements it makes.
As you can see, in fact, we only changed the subaccount with the warehouse.
When adding products, we used the selection button because it is very difficult to keep in mind the exact balances of goods in warehouses. If you manually specify in the tabular section a quantity that exceeds the balance, then when you try to post such a document, the program will generate an error. Of course, you will not be able to carry it out.

To retail warehouse
Filling out a movement document if it is carried out to or from a retail warehouse is no different from the example described above. In this case, when creating such a warehouse, you need to correctly indicate its type - “Retail store”.
The price type at our warehouse is “Retail price”, and the prices themselves are indicated in documents.
Moving consignment goods
In order to move consignment goods from warehouse to warehouse, including retail ones, use the “Goods on consignment” tab of the “Movement of Goods” document. Filling out the document is no different from the previous examples except for the tab used.
Document movements will be made according to off-balance sheet accounts. In this case - according to account 004.1.
Within the “Inventory Management” interface, you can find out the balances in warehouses, as well as receipts and expenses for a certain period, as follows: select the “Warehouse” tab in the top panel, then “Goods in warehouses” in the drop-down menu. Exactly the same version of the report in the “Purchasing Management” interface, “Inventory” tab - “Goods in warehouses”. Then you need to click the “Settings” button and specify the period. To get balances at the beginning of the year in 1C, you need to enter the date the first of January in the date cell.
The shape of the table will depend on the Row Grouping options. If you select the word “hierarchy” in the “Nomenclature” line, the positions will be arranged in order: for example, first sheets, then pipes, then hardware, etc. To get a general report on balances in 1C, you should select the word “hierarchy only” - only amounts will be shown without decryption. Grouping by warehouses is done in the same way.
To obtain information only on specific warehouses or groups of inventory items, you should pay attention to “Selections”. If you select “In the list” as the comparison type, then in the “Values” column you can specify the required warehouses and item groups.
The table that the program displays within the “Goods in warehouses” contains data only on the quantity of materials. If you need to get information on costs and prices, you need to switch the interface to “accounting and tax accounting”. Here select the “Accounting” tab, “Turnover balance sheet” and in the settings specify account 10. The period, grouping parameters (details), and selections are selected in the same way. This 1C report on balances looks different; it indicates the total cost of inventory items and quantity.
Another way to view balances in 1C is to turn to ready-made program templates. They are available in any interface; to find them, you need to select the “Service”, “Additional reports and processing”, or “Custom reports” tab. There are also templates created specifically for specific tasks by the enterprise IT service or 1C specialists. For example, sometimes a report indicating the date of the last receipt of goods and materials or the warehouse number is useful.

When starting to maintain accounting using the 1C: Enterprise software, you must complete the initial settings of the application and enter account balances. In this case, the working chart of accounts adopted by the accounting policy of the enterprise is compared with the chart of accounts used by 1C, after which data is entered through auxiliary account 00.
Instructions
Determine the start date for computer accounting. This may be the beginning of a month, quarter or reporting year, depending on the adopted accounting policy of the enterprise. Set a working date, i.e. date of entry of balances. It must be earlier than the accounting start date. For example, the last day of the previous reporting period.
Set the accounting results period. To do this, go to the “Tools” menu, the “Options” section and select the “Accounting results” tab. The period must be selected relative to the date of entry of account balances so that they are analyzed either at the end of the period or at the beginning. Perform a full recalculation by selecting the “Manage Accounting Totals” section in the “Operations” menu.
Enter your account balances. Postings on analytical accounting objects and balance sheet accounts, as well as sub-accounts must be entered in correspondence with account 00 “Auxiliary”, and balances on off-balance sheet accounts are reflected in a simple entry indicating one account. Be careful when defining accounts in the 1C: Enterprise program, as they are slightly different in numbering from accounting accounts.
Check that account balances have been entered correctly using a standard report. To do this, go to the “Reports” menu and select “Turnover balance sheet”. You can also click the corresponding button on the toolbar. Balances have been entered correctly if the debit amount equals the credit amount. If a non-zero balance was formed in the reporting on account 00, then errors were made during entry.
These need to be corrected by running the Drill Down command, which reveals detailed information about the report parameters. To edit, click the “Open Document” button, make corrections, then close all windows except the desired report, and double-click the “Refresh” button.

Before entering incoming and outgoing invoices into the database, you need to reflect in your accounting the balances in the warehouse at the beginning of its maintenance. Inventory balances must be entered on the date preceding the beginning of the period. The most convenient way for accountants to keep track of goods is in the “1C: Trade + Warehouse” program, the configuration of which allows you to fill out the “Inventory of Inventory and Materials” table using the “Remaining Inventory and Materials” report.
Instructions
Start setting up the “Inventory balances” report and call processing of the “Inventory of inventories” tabular part from the dialog. This can be done in any of two ways: using the “Inventory” button or the “Fill” button in the “Inventory of Inventory and Materials” document, selecting the “Fill from report” tab in the menu. After this, you need to fill out the table from the inventory document, which contains the “Inventory balances” report for the group of goods you need.
Select the warehouse where , and indicate a specific group of goods for which balances are checked. Keep in mind that you can select products based on their properties. In addition, using a multiple filter, it is possible to create a custom list of products.
In the “Remainings” filter, set the “All non-zero” option in the “Including reserve” attribute. This is done so that the inventory takes into account real balances and not reserved goods. Use the convenient switch in the “Prices” tab - “Average cost excluding VAT”. This will make your task easier. However, if the inventory is carried out in a retail warehouse, the position should be set as “Selling price (only)”, because in such a warehouse it is carried out at the same retail prices at which the goods are recorded in the retail warehouse.
Click the "Inventory" button when you have completed all the required settings. The “Inventory of Inventory and Materials” document you need will be automatically generated. If you have selected a wholesale warehouse, the generated document will be set to the “Inventory (by warehouse)” type. If you specified a retail warehouse, then the type will be indicated “Inventory (by )”. The table in the document will contain the balances of goods in accordance with the settings that you set in the “Inventory balances” report.
Enter into “Inventory” all the actual data on the goods in the warehouse. Next, fill out the documents “Write-off of goods and materials” or “Capitalization of goods and materials”, depending on whether you need to reflect the shortage or enter a surplus of goods.

1C today is a popular program in an enterprise, commercial organization or company. This is a comprehensive, convenient solution for organizing personnel, financial, accounting and material records. “1C: Trade Management” makes it possible to control and record absolutely all purchase and sale transactions in an enterprise. However, not all accountants initially know how to transfer balances to 1C at the beginning of the year.
You will need
- - PC;
- - “1C: Trade Management.”
Instructions
Purchase and install the 1C: Trade Management program and enter all your data into it. If “1C: Trade Management” is already available and in use, just launch it on your computer. To do this, just click on the corresponding shortcut on the desktop.
Open the desired database in “1C: Trade Management”. Go to the “Documents” menu to enter balances. Then go to “Sales” by selecting the appropriate tab. Select the "Debt Adjustment" option.
In addition to the above method, you can open a document to enter balances using the following transition: “Documents” - item “Purchases” - “Debt Adjustment”.
Look at the document log that appears in front of you. Click on the “Add” button in the window and wait until a new document is created. Select the counterparty you need in the “Counterparty” field.
Enter the required number of contracts in the tabular part of the document, as well as the currency and debt amount in the corresponding field. Click on the “Add” button. Such actions will allow you to add this row to your tabular part.
Find the column “Increase in debt” and enter in it the amount of the counterparty’s debt to the company. Click the "OK" button and enter the product balances as of the beginning of the year. To do this, set the working date in 1C before starting to enter balances for the last month that precedes the start of the accounting period. In our case it is December.
Select “Tools” – “Options” from the menu. Enter the desired date and save the information by clicking “OK”.
Create a “Goods Receipt” document to enter all remaining goods in warehouses. To do this, you must perform the following steps.
Go to the “Documents” menu, select “Inventory (warehouse)”. Go to the item “Positioning of goods”. Click the Add button.
Select the “Base” field and enter “Enter initial balances”, then the “Prices and currency” item and in it select the “Purchase” price type. Click on the “Selection” button and check the boxes next to the “Quantity”, “Price”, “Characteristics” fields.
Select the required element and specify the parameters. Add all products. Exit the item window by clicking the “OK” button.

Before entering expense and receipt invoices into the database, it is necessary to reflect the current balances in the warehouse in accounting. Inventory balances are entered on the date that precedes the start date of the period.
Instructions
Run the report in the 1C: Trade + Warehouse program, called “Inventory balances”. Having started its construction, you will use dialog boxes to call up the processing of the “Inventory of goods and materials” table. You can do this in two ways: by clicking on the “Inventory” button or using the “Fill” button in the document called “Inventory of Inventory”. Select the Fill from Report tab from the menu. Next, fill out the tabular part of the inventory document containing a report called “Inventory balances” for your product group.
Determine the warehouse where the inventory is carried out. In addition, you should indicate the group of goods you need for which you will create balances. Please note that you can select products by their properties, and by using a multiple filter, you can create a list of products at random.
Set the value “All non-zero” in the “Remainings” filter, which is located in the characteristic called “Including reserve”. Then the inventory will take into account all real balances, excluding reserved goods. For your convenience, you can use a special switch, which is located in the “Prices” tab and is called “Average cost without VAT”. This will make it easier for you to complete the task at hand. Keep in mind that if goods are being inventoried in a retail warehouse, you need to set the position “Sales price (only
To display account balances in 1C, you need to create a balance sheet and select the necessary settings. This is the period for which you need to show the turnover, account or subaccount number, and detail parameters. In the “selection” you can specify warehouses, product groups or other limiting factors. For example, to generate balances for account 10 “Materials”, in this tab you should select the required warehouses “in the list” or one desired warehouse “equals”.
Sometimes it is convenient to display only general data on an account in 1C; in this case, in the settings you need to select “Hierarchy” or “Hierarchy only”. In the first case, materials grouped by item groups “Black sheet”, “Stainless sheet”, “Circles”, etc. will be displayed, and in the second - only the total amounts for these groups. When transferring the table to Excel or a similar program, it is important to take into account that the sums for the elements add up to the sums for the subgroups, and they are all indicated in one column - therefore, when setting the “Total Amount” formula, the program will simply double the total amount.
The “Purchasing Management” or “Inventory Management” interfaces also allow you to display account balances, but only the quantity will be indicated in the table (the “Goods in Warehouses” report). If you create the actual purchases for a certain period, the number of 10 materials received to the account will be displayed, indicating the price. It is important that here the cost will include VAT, while in the turnover account 10 the total cost is indicated without VAT.
It is convenient to use the “Quick Selection” functions to find the positions you need. For example, by selecting the desired department or warehouse, you can quickly display all balances for a certain period. If you need to find out about the availability of certain items in the warehouse or the movement of certain items, you need to make a selection in the “Nomenclature” cell. To do this, set the parameter “in the list” or “equal to”, then click “…” in the selection field. Here, select the material, sequentially “traveling” through the menu, or write in the “contains” field known information - steel grade, standard size, marking, etc. For the list to be formed, you must click the “hierarchical viewing” button at the top of the window. Having selected the desired element, generate a report on it - balances at the beginning and end of the period, movement.
Every trading or manufacturing company has a warehouse where goods and materials are stored, and it often happens that control and accounting in this warehouse leave much to be desired.
The director once again calls in the programmer, database operator and storekeeper and tries to understand why no one in the company knows the warehouse balances. The manager looks at the reports on warehouse balances generated in the database and realizes that they do not correspond to reality. The storekeeper takes inventory and confirms this sad discrepancy. This is a familiar situation, isn't it? The leader must understand who is to blame - the people or the program. By posing the question this way, we are already making a mistake. The truth, as always, is somewhere in the middle.
So, let's consider the methodology of warehouse accounting, requirements for accounting systems, as well as the interaction of company employees with each other and the accounting program. Let's try to figure out what a program should look like that would correctly reflect the state of the warehouse and allow you to see the company's turnover. To complete the picture, we present options for maintaining warehouse accounting in companies of different levels.
The first and simplest option is when we have a small warehouse in a small company with a limited assortment of about 100 items. At the same time, we make the assumption that goods arrive and leave the warehouse only with accompanying documents - incoming and outgoing invoices. In this case, we have the following accounting model (Fig. 1). The receipt of goods at the warehouse is accompanied by invoices, which are accepted and checked by the logistician. The sales manager conducts trade according to warehouse balances, generating invoices for sales.
Rice. 1. Model of simplified warehouse accounting
In this case, automation of a warehouse section, as a rule, does not require significant effort - the correct registration of primary documents for receipt and write-off by the logistician and sales manager is sufficient. You can use any program that has an incoming and outgoing invoice and a mechanism that allows you to calculate warehouse balances. In addition, it would be nice to provide documents that allow recording deviations between the actual balances in the warehouse and the balances reflected in the database, i.e. Once a week or month, count the goods in the warehouse and record discrepancies, if any. To bring the data in the database into line with reality, the surplus of goods is accounted for and the shortage is written off:
- inventory allows you to record the discrepancy between accounting data and fact;
- Capitalization ensures accounting of excess goods found in the warehouse;
- When written off, a shortage is recorded.
So, we have sorted out the documents with which the movement of goods is recorded. The quantity of goods can always be counted and discrepancies can be corrected if necessary. All data on turnover in the warehouse can be summarized in a table. 1.
Table 1. Goods accounting
By summing the “Quantity” column for each product, we get its balance.
However, the considered model is too simplified. For example, we are interested not only in the quantity of a product, but also in its cost. This is necessary at least in order not to trade at a loss, i.e. It is necessary to store information about how much goods are stored in the warehouse and at what cost we sell them. Let's add the "Amount" column to the table. 1 (Table 2).
table 2
In the “Amount” column upon receipt, you should write down the cost of the entire batch of goods received, and not the price per unit, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the correct total amount for this column. Thus, using the “Amount” column, you can determine how much goods are stored in the warehouse. But in order to calculate the cost of goods in the warehouse, when writing off, you need to establish the amount by which its total balance is reduced, and for this you can use one of three methods: FIFO, LIFO or “by average”. Let's look at them.
To calculate the cost of a shipped product using the “average” method, at the time of shipment it is necessary to determine the balance of the product using the “Quantity” and “Amount” columns. The cost of a written-off product is calculated using the formula:
In our case, for product T1, the “average” cost will be equal (Table 3):
The FIFO and LIFO methods use the batch accounting principle. Each receipt of goods is considered a batch. Cost records are kept for each batch. At the time of sale of goods, the cost is written off by lot.
The FIFO (First Input First Output) method implies that the earlier receipt of goods is written off first (Table 4). Let's add the "Batch" column to the table. 3 and calculate.
Table 4
The LIFO (Last Input First Output) method assumes that the later arrival of goods is written off first (Table 5).
Table 5
As you can see, the quantity of goods written off is the same in all examples, but the cost is different. However, in all cases when all goods received at the warehouse are written off, its value will also be zero. The methods allow us to simply regulate the method of writing off the cost of goods from the warehouse, but if they are not used, then we will never know what real profit was received.
So, for a small company, you should choose a ready-made software product that would ensure the maintenance of the accounting model described above and the accompanying document flow and cost calculation.
These requirements can be met by the following programs of the 1C:Enterprise family: 1C:Enterprise 7.7. Aspect", "1C:Enterprise 7.7. Trade and warehouse", "1C: Accounting 7.7", "1C: Enterprise 7.7. Production+Services+Accounting", "1C:Enterprise 7.7. Complex configuration", "1C: Accounting 8.0". However, it should be noted that “1C: Accounting 7.7” makes it possible to calculate the cost only “on average”.
Over time, the company expands, and with each inventory count, the manager begins to understand that the discrepancies between the accounting and actual quantities of goods in the warehouse are prohibitively large. Things have reached the point where the manager can no longer rely in his transactions on the report on warehouse balances in the database. The question arises: why the warehouse accounting model and the program that implements it do not work.
There may be several reasons: firstly, the receipt of goods at the warehouse without accompanying documents, and secondly, a discrepancy between the accompanying documents for receipt - sales and actual shipments. For example, a supplier may deliver goods in several batches at intervals of several days and issue one general invoice for it. The manager can issue one invoice for goods that will be picked up from the warehouse in several stages due to its shortage in the warehouse. At the same time, he is forced to issue one invoice for all the goods at once in order to satisfy the client’s requirements and close mutual settlements according to the financial statements.
In fact, invoices cease to be accompanying documents and become documents for the transfer of ownership. In this case, to correctly reflect the turnover, additional internal warehouse documents are introduced, i.e. All operations of receipt and release from the warehouse are accompanied by orders for the receipt and consumption of goods. The warehouse accounting model will look as shown in Fig. 2.
Rice. 2. Warehouse order model
In this model, the warehouse is included in the company’s document flow and generates its own documents. It follows from this that it is necessary to automate warehouse accounting.
Warehouse order documents should be simple and connected with the rest of the company's document flow.
- receipt from the supplier;
- return from the buyer;
- receipt as a result of transfer from another warehouse.
- shipment to the buyer;
- receipt from an accountable person (in the case when a company employee buys something in cash);
- return to supplier;
- write-off as a result of moving to another warehouse.
In addition to the specified documents, it is necessary to take into account which shipping invoices have not been used to write off all goods and which receipt orders have not received accompanying documents. To do this, the system must have appropriate reports.
The 1C company has developed the following solutions that allow you to maintain order accounting in a warehouse: “1C: Enterprise 8.0. Trade Management" and "1C: Enterprise 8.0. Manufacturing Enterprise Management". "Manufacturing Enterprise Management" is a more comprehensive solution that includes all the functionality of "Trade Management".
If the company has grown to such a size that the knowledge that the goods are in the warehouse becomes irrelevant, since the warehouse itself occupies a large area in several hangars, in such a situation, searching for goods can take quite a long time, and inventory becomes simply impossible. The storekeeper is unable to quickly find the required product. In this case, a decision should be made on maintaining warehouse logistics, since it is necessary to track the movement of goods between cells inside the warehouse. To reduce the time spent on moving it, it is necessary to optimize storage in the warehouse, i.e. place the most popular goods in closer cells.
In this case, the accounting system does not become much more complicated; additional tables are simply added, which should store information about the location of the goods in the warehouse in a certain cell and about its movement throughout the warehouse. To reflect the turnover within the warehouse, the following internal documents will be required (Fig. 3):
- application for acceptance of goods;
- a task for placing goods with a route containing a list of storage cells;
- intra-warehouse movement to reflect the movement of goods throughout the warehouse;
- a task for selecting goods, containing a list of cells from which it should be taken for shipment;
- assembling goods for shipment;
- packaging of goods before shipment.
Rice. 3. Model of detailed warehouse logistics
The assembly of goods should also include the function of optimizing its movement through the warehouse and possibly selecting it by batches of receipts.
Inventory in a warehouse becomes a daily procedure that is carried out in the process of work. It is impossible to stop its operation for recalculation, as was possible in previous cases, therefore the inventory is carried out in the following options:
recalculation of only one product item in the warehouse (shipment for it is blocked at this moment);
inventory within one warehouse storage zone (trade turnover in this zone is blocked for this time);
inventory of empty cells (cells in which there is no product are recorded).
In order for warehouse workers to use the system, it must have a simple interface and the ability to connect retail equipment. The requirements set out in this model are implemented in the software product “1C-Logistics: Warehouse Management”, which is easily integrated into standard solutions “1C: Enterprise 8.0. Trade Management" and "1C: Enterprise 8.0. Manufacturing Enterprise Management".
Thus, we examined three warehouse accounting models in order of increasing complexity (Fig. 4).
Rice. 4. Three models of warehouse accounting
Based on the analysis of these models, we can conclude that the greater the turnover in a company, the more intermediate stages and states arise in the seemingly simple operations of receiving and writing off goods in a warehouse. To correctly track the status of receipts and shipments and the history of trade turnover, specialized internal documents should be entered. To increase the speed of work, it is logical to form these documents in a database and display them for company employees in the most accessible form.
Automation of models will reduce the time of communication between company employees and warehouse workers and increase labor productivity. However, when automating accounting, some restrictions are imposed on the sequence of actions of employees. To the extent that possible warehouse situations are reflected in the system model and to the extent that company employees follow instructions exactly, the system “reflects” warehouse balances accurately.
Therefore, for competent warehouse automation, it is necessary to understand how often situations arise that are omitted and simplified in this accounting model. If the simplified model no longer works, then it is necessary either to change the model towards a more complex one, or to more strictly limit the actions of employees so that these actions fit into the rules and assumptions of the accounting model.
Limiting the choice of actions, of course, makes the company less flexible, but it avoids the destructive process of employees thinking about the question “what to do?” If the model and instructions of employees are thought out in advance, then it will be possible to always have accurate data on the condition of the warehouse.
