Source file: inventory-edit.htm

The Edit group of the Inventory ribbon contains tools to record new information about the site's blast product inventory, including its current stock levels and any changes made to them.

All blast products are stocked in the inventory except for bulk explosives, whose ingredients are typically stocked instead, and are later mixed for discharging only during the charging process.

Use the tools from the Inventory > Edit group as follows:

• If the information that you need to record concerns blast products that are stocked, use the Goods Transferred, Create Stocktake, and Reconciliation tools.

• If the information that you need to record concerns the discharging of bulk explosives, use the Bulk Explosives Discharged tool.
