ANTE User ManualClient Goods Held
Some work starts with goods the client sends you — parts to plate, coat or assemble. Those goods stay the client's. Ante keeps them apart from your own stock: they carry no value, never appear in your inventory, stock value or cost of sales, and are listed here instead, one row per client lot.
Reading the List
Filter by client or warehouse, or search an item, SKU or lot. Lots fully used or returned drop off the list; tick Show empty lots to see them too (quantity 0).
Right-click a lot to open its receipt, or copy the receipt number, client DR number, lot number or item SKU.
How Goods Come In and Go Out
Goods arrive with a client goods receipt (CGI-0001): the client, their DR no., and per line the item, quantity, lot, boxes and location. They leave with a client goods issue (CGO-0001) — issued to a job, returned to the client, or adjusted. An issue takes from one client's lots in one warehouse, and never more than a lot holds.
Computed output: Calamba Auto Parts sends 1 box of 1,000 brackets, lot CAP-L2610-07, DR CAP-DR-5531, put on Rack C-2. The list shows Calamba Auto Parts · Bracket · CAP-L2610-07 · 1 · 1,000 pcs · Main Warehouse · Rack C-2 · CGI-0001 · client DR CAP-DR-5531. Issuing 980 to the job leaves 20 pcs; your own inventory and stock value do not change at any point.
An order can also hold a lot: picking it under Materials for this order reserves it, so the lot shows less free until the processing step uses it up (a client goods issue to the job).
How It Connects
Set up first
- Warehouses — the warehouses and their areas (locations) the goods are kept in.
Gets its data from
- Goods Received — receiving goods a client sends you to process adds the lots listed here.
Feeds into
- Orders — the work done on the client's goods; issuing them to a job takes them off this list.
