Holding Zones offer an enhanced stock taking function by allowing each outlet within a site to be counted separately. This enables the generation of detailed stock results, providing greater insight and control over reporting and stock management. Stock is initially received into a designated Purchase Zone through delivery purchases, and products are then transferred to individual zones to update stock levels accordingly. A consolidated stock result is also produced for the entire site.
