How the Ages Are Worked Out

  • Each receipt into stock is placed in an age column by the calendar month it was received in.
  • Issues are deducted from the oldest receipts first, so the quantity left in each column is the stock still on hand from that period.
  • The columns show quantities. The chart shows values: the quantity multiplied by the item's unit price at that location.
  • Only items with stock on hand are listed: one row for each item and location.
