Transaction Types

The nine stock entry transaction types used across Neriyam.

Transaction Types#

Every stock movement in Neriyam is a stock entry with a specific transaction type. The transaction type determines which form you see, what fields are required, whether ownership is editable, and which permissions gate the action.

This page is the reference catalogue. For how a specific entry works, follow the link to its module page.

The nine transaction types#

Code	Name	Module (sidebar)	Direction	Docs
`OPN`	Opening Stock	Inventory	Inward only	Opening Stock
`ADJ`	Stock Adjustment	Inventory	Either (mixed)	Stock Adjustment
`TRF`	Stock Transfer	Inventory	Paired (from → to)	Stock Transfer
`PPR`	Goods Receipt (Purchase Receipt)	Purchase	Inward	Goods Receipt
`PPT`	Purchase Return	Purchase	Outward	Purchase Returns
`SPD`	Sales Delivery	Sales	Outward	Sales Delivery Notes
`SPT`	Sales Return	Sales	Inward	Sales Returns
`MFG`	Production Entry	Manufacturing	Mixed (input + output)	Production Entry
`SCR`	Scrap Entry	Manufacturing	Outward	Scrap Entry

Do not look for transaction codes STF, SIS, SIR, or PRD — those names appear in some older design documents but the actual codes in the app are TRF, SPD, SPT, and MFG respectively.

Line mode#

Each transaction type has a line mode that defines how quantities work on its lines:

Line mode	Behaviour	Used by
`POSITIVE`	Inward only; qty must be positive	OPN, PPR, SPT
`NEGATIVE`	Outward only; qty must be positive, posted as negative	PPT, SPD, SCR
`MIXED`	Either direction; positive adds, negative reduces	ADJ, MFG
`PAIRED`	Each line has From Warehouse + To Warehouse	TRF

Ownership policy#

Every transaction type in Neriyam supports both ownership types — own stock and customer-owned stock can be entered on every kind of stock entry. This is necessary because customer free-issue material may flow through every stage of the workflow.

Policy	Meaning	Used by
`OWN`	Own stock only; ownership field hidden	(none)
`CUSTOMER`	Customer stock only; customer field required	(none)
`BOTH`	Own or customer; user picks per entry, can override per line	OPN, ADJ, TRF, PPR, PPT, SPD, SPT, MFG, SCR

How the picker is presented varies by transaction type — see Stock Ownership › Which transactions allow which ownership for the full breakdown.

What each type does to the stock ledger#

Inward (positive quantity on ledger)#

OPN — opens a balance; updates moving average with the rate you enter
PPR — receives stock against a PO; blends the PO rate into the moving average
SPT — returns stock from a customer; flows back at the rate it left at (from the SDN)
Positive ADJ — adds stock at the current moving-average (or at a rate, if zero balance)
Output lines of MFG — adds produced stock; rate derived from consumed inputs

Outward (negative quantity on ledger)#

SPD — ships stock to a customer; consumes at current moving-average
PPT — returns stock to a supplier; consumes at current moving-average
SCR — writes off stock; consumes at current moving-average
Negative ADJ — reduces stock; consumes at current moving-average
Input lines of MFG — consumes stock at current moving-average; value flows to output lines

Paired (two entries per line)#

TRF — posts one outward at the source warehouse and one inward at the destination, both at the source's current moving-average

See Stock valuation for the full cost arithmetic.

Lifecycle — all stock entries#

All nine types share the same lifecycle:

Code	Label	Behaviour
`D`	Draft	Editable; rates blank until submit
`S`	Submitted	Posted to ledger; read-only
`C`	Cancelled	Reversal posted; original preserved

Stock entries do NOT go through Pending Approval. Submitting a stock entry requires the MANAGE_* permission for its module.
