The details related to each item need to be checked against the system, as there order report contains various inaccuracies, such as obsolete (no longer traded) items appearing on the report. (Another software solution exists in the company that could potentially offer reports that would be more useful in assisting the stock control officer in there-ordering process. Such software though has not been utilised due to the lack of time available to personnel.) A purchase order is then raised within Opera for the necessary goods. Item prices are automatically entered by Opera; the stock officer just enters the quantity required and date.
