Activate stock

Before you can process stock, you must first activate the Stock functionality in the environment properties.  

Extra activations for Stock:

  • Journalise stock
  • Reconciliation
  • Multiple warehouses
  • Track stock at warehouse locations
  • Stock in multiple administrations

  • Barcode scanner integration
  • 'CBS'

  • Article dimensions

Ideally you should activate the new functionality at the end of the working day, or over the weekend. This is because during the activation process, a conversion will always occur, and during this conversion your employees cannot work in Profit. It is recommended that you first test a new activation in a test environment, before you implement it in the live environment.

To activate the functionality:

  1. Go to: General / Environment / Management / Properties.
  2. Go to the tab: Activation.
  3. Select the check box of the functionality that you want to activate.

    Profit warns you that after activating the functionality the environment needs to be converted.

  4. Click on: Yes to activate the function.
  5. Click on: OK.

    Profit warns you that no other users can be logged on.

  6. Click on Yes in the message.
