voorraadkaart

Voorraadkaart is a Dutch term that translates to "stock card" or "inventory card" in English. It refers to a document used in inventory management to record the movement of goods within a business. Each voorraadkaart typically tracks a specific item or a group of identical items.

The primary purpose of a voorraadkaart is to provide a clear and up-to-date record of the quantity of stock on hand. Information recorded on a voorraadkaart usually includes the item's description, a unique item number or code, and the date of each transaction. Transactions logged include receipts of new stock, shipments or sales of existing stock, and any adjustments made due to damage, loss, or discrepancies.

By maintaining voorraadkaarten, businesses can monitor their inventory levels, identify trends in stock usage, and prevent stockouts or overstocking. This helps in making informed purchasing decisions and optimizing warehouse operations. Historically, voorraadkaarten were physical paper documents, often kept in a ledger. In modern business practices, these functions are largely performed by computerized inventory management systems, although the underlying principle of tracking stock movements remains the same. The data from these systems effectively serves the same purpose as traditional voorraadkaarten.
