How to understand Removal reasons

The Removal reasons section explains why stock went down during the selected reporting period. It groups negative stock movements by reason and estimates their value in KSh.

What it shows

• Reason name, such as Sold from invoice payment, Stock removed, or Damaged stock removed.
• Number of movements.
• Quantity affected.
• Estimated KSh value.

Why it is useful

• It separates sales-related reductions from waste or manual removals.
• It helps you see whether stock is leaving for healthy reasons or problem reasons.
• It helps explain large stock loss values.
• It helps you identify whether damage, removals, or invoice stock deductions are the main cause.

How to read Sold from invoice payment

• This means stock was deducted because an invoice payment was added to Sales and the invoice line was linked to inventory.
• This is usually normal if the item was sold through an invoice.
• If the number is unexpectedly high, review the related invoices and payment history.

How to read Stock removed

• This usually means stock was manually removed.
• Check whether the removal was due to loss, theft, waste, correction, or another reason.
• If stock removed is high, review staff process and physical stock controls.

How to read Damaged stock removed

• This means stock was removed because it was damaged.
• If this is frequent, review storage, transport, supplier packaging, or staff handling.
