subsystems of the Motakamel Plus system. This system is the inventory
system that deals with inventory procedures and operations by using
multiple units per item. Working on the inventory system is done in
stages. After carrying out the necessary configuration and defining the
inputs such as storage groups, items, stores and other inputs, various
warehouse operations such as supply orders, disbursement orders, and
monthly inventory and annual inventory then compare it with the actual
warehouse inventory of items and compare them with balances of items

which are the warehouse measurement unit coding and the types used
as items type, incoming stock order type and warehouse transfer and
other types.

Options
Use: Options screen is used for the purpose of selecting the appropriate features and
characteristics for the enterprise from the available options, it is one of the most important
screens in the system ,therefore it must be the system administrator at the enterprise to
specify a precise appropriate option, because of the consequent effects on the screens
involved in various system partitions, since some of these options cannot be modified while
working on the system during the effective period, also it is not possible to specify an
appropriate options till the user has the knowledge of the option’s effects that would result
from specifying the option or not.
First, Main options Tab
Costing Method
The methods of costing option is used in order to select the option and the way they match
the quality of enterprise activity, which are the methods that the enterprise used in
performing stock count, the system allows the enterprise to specify the appropriate methods
in the system and traded on wider fields so that the system administrator select one of the
following t:
- First In, First Out, Method (FIFO): If this option is selected, it is assumed that items
from the inventory are sold in the order in which they are purchased or produced. This
means that cost of older inventory is charged to cost of goods sold first and the ending
inventory consists of those goods which are purchased or produced later. This is the
5 Go to ➔ Content
Inventory – Motakamel Plus V5
most widely used method for inventory valuation. FIFO method is closer to actual
physical flow of goods because companies normally sell goods in order in which they
are purchased or produced.
- Average Cost Method (AVCO): Average cost method (AVCO) calculates the cost of
ending inventory and cost of goods sold for a period on the basis of weighted average
cost per unit of inventory.
Unused Costs
This option is used when the enterprise desires not to calculate cost of the items sold in the
system operations, which means that inventory control will not be performed on the costs
but only on the quantities, if the enterprise does not wish to use cost-based, the system
administrator selects this option so that the signal (✓) appears, and as a result of selecting
this option, the system will not generate cost of sales and inventory that happens when the
user posts sales invoices, then the system will generate the a journal entry of the sold items
only, while not selecting the option means that the enterprise wish to apply continuous
inventory counts and calculates the cost of sold items in each process and the system will
post sales invoice and generates two journal vouchers first to prove the sales process and
the second to prove the deported items from warehouses at it cost, due to not selecting this
option. It is important to note that the system administrator will not be able to deactivate this

Introduction
The data input is considered the main structure of working on the
system and through which the basic data is entered to the system,
which will be used in the system transactions. In addition, most of the
data entered is used in many systems within the Motakamel Plus
System. An example of these inputs is the inventory groups and linking
it to the General Ledger, Item Details, Warehouses Details, Bin Details,
Items Price, Items Opening Balances and many other options, in
addition to some inputs of accounts system as the chart of accounts,
cost centers, currencies and other related inputs.

(debit) and associated with several currencies that will be affected by the value of the
discounts granted to customers on the sales using sales invoice.
- P. Years Return Acc.\ No.: This field is used to specify the sales return account
number for items that were sold during the year or previous years and have been
returned during the current year (effective financial period), which is a sub-account
associated with several currencies affected as (debit) by the cost of the returned Sales
item of the Group that were sold during the previous years.
Hint
The system administrator will be able to select the account
that was specified in the field (Sales Returns Account) If an
enterprise does not wish to monitor the returns of the current
year sales and returns of previous years, but if the enterprise
desires to monitor the returns of sales of previous years in
separated reports from returns of current year sales a different
account will be used instead of the sales returns account.
- P. Years Return Cost Acc.\ No.: This field is used to specify the cost of sales returns
from previous year’s account number, which is a sub-account associated with several
currencies affected as (credit) by the cost of sales items Group sold during the
previous years were returned during the current year. The system separates the cost
of previous year sales account from the cost of the current year sales account to
perform cost control of each separately, with the possibility of using the same account
that was used in the field (Sales Cost Acc.\No.).
- Purchases Free Qtys. Account: This field is used in case of the use of the option
(Entering Bonus Quantities as Income) of bonus quantities in Purchases Options
Screen. And is used to specify the bonus quantities account number in purchases,
which is a sub-account associated with several currencies affected as (credit) affected
by posting the purchases invoices that contains bonus quantities, and it is considered
as an income in exchange for adding the quantities to the inventory (debit) by the cost
of the bonus quantities, whereas in case the option (Decrease The Costing) is selected
for the bonus quantities in the purchases system options screen then there will be no
need to use this field.
36 Go to ➔ Content
Inventory – Motakamel Plus V5
- Difference Acc.\No.: This field is used to specify the incoming and purchases returns
differences account, which is a sub-account with the same inventory account currency
and it is affected by the difference between the items cost of purchases returns and the
value of items at the purchase, whether it have been supplied to the warehouses in the
system by an Incoming Order or Purchases invoice, and the difference appears in two
cases:
• Difference in the cost of items returned from the supplier’s purchase price and
supply so that the journal entry will be balanced for this process.
• Returning items to the supplier after adding additional charges in addition to the
supplier’s purchase cost.
- Vendor Discount Code: This field is used to specify the vendor discount account,
which means, the discount granted by the supplier to the enterprise, which is a sub-
account (credit) party, linked by several currencies and affected by the supplier
discount amounts granted to the enterprise when buying goods using purchases
invoice. This field is used in case of selecting the option (As Income) in the discounts
options in the Purchases Options Screen.
- Difference Disassembly Acc.\No: This field is used to identify the disassemble
difference account number, which is a sub-account. The disassemble difference refers
to difference that occur between the inventory assemble orders that are made at a
specific items costs and the disassemble orders when the items are returned to the
warehouse with a different cost.
- Promotion Acc. \No: This field is used to specify the promotion account number,
which is a sub-account by the same currency of the inventory and affected by the cost
of the bonus quantities in the sales invoices, for the purpose of separation between the
cost of actual sold items that appears in the cost of sales account and the cost of the
bonus quantities that appear in promotional expense, knowing that this field does not
appear and to be used the user should select the option (Post to promotion account in
sales) in the General Ledger Options Screen.
- Carrying Account No: This field is used to specify transportation costs account
number, which is a sub-account (debit) that is affected by the value of transportation
wages of supplied items, through the inventory incoming orders, faced by a credit party

account which will be specified in the Incoming Orders Screen in the (Additional Data
Tab) as a treasury account or bank or a supplier if the transport fares were used.
Hint
Previous accounts will be affected by the operations of the
inventory items groups linked to each item and by the linkage
of the inventory groups by the General Ledger.
Group Formatting Tab
Configuring the Group formatting tab is used in order to identify some of the settings that
meets the needs of the enterprise and those configurations are as follows:
- Include Group No. In Item Code: This option is used if the enterprise desires to
include the inventory Group Number in the items numbers. If the enterprise wish to
include the group number in the items number automatically, the system administrator
selects this checkbox option so that the signal (✓) appears, and as a result of
selecting this option is that when adding a new item in the items details screen it will
be mandatory to start the Item Number with the group number. For example, if the
group number is (001), then the item number must begin with this number and then
the item number and will be (001-001). The benefit of this method is to ensure linking
entered inventory items numbers by the Group item linked to and also ensure entering
the items using a single format.
- Generate Item Code Automatically: This option is used if the enterprise wishes to
generate the items numbers in the (items details screen) automatically, including the
inventory group number. If the enterprise wish so, the system administrator selects this
checkbox option so that the signal (✓) appears, and as a result of selecting this option
38 Go to ➔ Content
Inventory – Motakamel Plus V5
is that when adding a new item in the items details screen the system will automatically
generate an item number that includes the group number. Therefore, the use of this
option is linked related to the use the previous Item number option. While if this option
is not selected then the user will enter the items numbers manually.
- Group Wise Disc.: This field is used in case the enterprise desires to specify the
maximum discount limit allowed for items group in sales, and the percentage that will
be specified in this field will be circulated to all inventory items that follow the group.
- Gross Margin: This field appears when the shipping system is used, and it is used
that for the purpose of specifying the profit margin of the group items, and by
specifying the percentage it will be added to the supplier price, and will a Performa
invoice be issuing in the sales including the items cost price plus the profit margin that
will be specified in the margin percentage in this field, with the possibility of modifying
the profit margin in the Performa invoice. The percentage entered in this field will be
circulated to all the inventory items within the items group.
- Use VAT Tax (The Group Is Subjected to VAT): This option is used to specify
whether the subsidiary items will be subject to VAT or not. If the enterprise wishes to
subject such items to VAT the user selects this option so that the signal (✓) appears,
this selection will reflect on all items that follows this group, this selection will subject
the VAT to items on purchases and sales.
Print Group Details

sale or items of raw materials or items that are used internally or service items and any
other items. Through this screen the items are entered and linked with its related inventory
group, also the inventory group data must be entered before entering the items data. Also
through this screen the account related to the item are specified and linked which are the
accounts that will affected automatically with any operation conducted on items.
The Items details screen contains several tabs where each tab has a specific use. In
addition to the main tab of the screen through which the basic data of the items is
performed Including the variety of inventory units of the item, also there are other tabs
whose data appear automatically because of the operations carried out on the items. In one
of tabs the available quantities in each warehouse appear, and in another tab the statistical
data of the item cost that were added to the item price data will appear showing the initial
cost of the item and highest cost, lowest cost and average cost and other costs as they
appear in the same tab based o item, and in another tab the vendors details will appear
whose the items were purchased from and the price per item unit will appear as well, and in
another tab a statistical reports on items sales and supplies will appear .
Some buttons has been added which are used to move to other screens involved with
items, once the item is entered the user can access directly to the items warehouse screen
in order to enter the opening balances for the item and through other button the user can
access the pricing screen in order to specify the item sale prices and a third button from
which to move to the barcode screen if the user wish to print the barcode data for the item,

How to Use the Sizes and Weights of Measurement Units
The user can deal with items measurement units that depend on the sizes and weights in a
suitable way to deal with those units. Enterprises that deals with sizes and weights units
such as companies that manufactures tiles, iron, wood, sponge and others that has other
features to deal with measurements, in addition to the possibility of dealing with spaces,
lengths, sizes and weights and other numerical units, for example, square meters, will be
handled by numerical units, and link the intangible sizes and weights measurement units
because of the difficulty of measuring or weighing it (square meters - kilograms - tons...)
with the numerical measurement units perceived that are easily counted (Box- Packet-
Piece), in other words, the system will allow the user to deal with the items in units of sizes
and weights units and numerical measurement units, and the user will enter the necessary
encodings to link the two types so that the system accommodates calculating and
converting the sizes and weights measure units to numerical measurement units. For
example, when encoding the item (tile) and the user specifies that a square meter is equal
to a specific number of tiles pieces, then in the transactions screens the user will enter the
data of the tile space needed by the customer (length × width), automatically the system will
calculate the numerical quantity that will cover the required space with adjusting the
differences that may occur from the calculation process. And because of the details of the
sizes and weights measurement units this part was allocated to enter any detailed data
needed as follows:
- First: Sizes and Weights Measurement Units That Are Unrelated To The Normal
Numerical Units:
46 Go to ➔ Content
Inventory – Motakamel Plus V5
• Measure Unit: This field is used if the item is measured by a single measurement
unit to specify the item’s measurement unit, which is size and weight unit.
• Difference Range: This field displays the value of the fractures extent
automatically, which is the values pro-grammatically installed in the system, it uses
mathematical programming and dealt with globally such as specifying that the
kilogram is equal to 1000 grams.
- Second: Sizes and Weights Measurement Units That Are related To the Normal
Numerical Units:
Measurement unit encoding differs if the use of sizes and weights measurement unit is
associated with the use of numerical measurement units, which inquire mathematical
equations to link the weights measurement units with the numerical measurement units,
for example, if the item is measured by the meter square or tone and at the same time
it is measured by packet and piece, then the mathematical equations needed are as
follows:
• First, Specify the Relationship Between the Weight Units And The Numerical
Units, For Example:
1 Tone = 10 boxes
• Second, Specify the Relationship Between the Numerical Units With One
Another For Example:
1 Box = 24 pieces
Then the measurement units of such cases are encoded as follows:
- Measurement Unit: This field is used to specify the item’s measurement unit. If the
measurement unit is associated with a numerical measuring unit according to what has
been encoded in the Measurement Units Screen in the Inventory System Configuration
Tab, then once selecting the measurement unit the system displays a table at the
bottom of the screen, in which the user specifies the relationship between the
measurement units:
• Unit Symbol: the unit code and the unit name of numerical measurement appear
in the allocated columns, based on the linkage of the size measurement unit and
numerical measurement units’, according to what has been encoded in the
inventory Measurement Units Screen in the Inventory System Configuration Tab.
47 Go to ➔ Content
Inventory – Motakamel Plus V5
• Equivalent Unit: This column is used to specify the relationship between weights
and numerical measurement units depending on the mathematical equations that
vary from item to another and from a measurement unit to another measurement
unit. If we assume that the item measurement unit is (ton) and the numerical
measurement unit is (box) through this column, we define that:
The Box is (1/10 = 0.1) compared to the ton
- Partial Unit: This column is used to specify the partial unit of the numerical
measurement unit, if we assume that the numerical measurement unit that will be dealt
with is (box) and the partial numerical measuring unit is (piece), then in this case, the
column will be used as follows:
• The Partial Measurement Unit (Piece): There will be no values specified of the
smallest numerical measurement unit.
• The Measurement Unit (Box): The user specifies the number of units and the
partial measurement unit of the (Box) is the (Piece).
- Package: This column is used to specify the relationship between the numerical
measurement units only, as in our previous example.
- Default: This column is used to specify the numerical measurement unit that the user
wishes to appear as default in the sales invoices screen. The unit that will be specified
as the default unit will appear directly in sales with the possibility of modifying the
numerical measuring unit that is linked with the same item.
Hint
This method is designed to facilitate the user's activity and
reduce the use of the calculator when the user wants to know
the equivalent quantity of the basic measurement unit and
vice versa the, through using this feature the user will be able
to deal with items several measurement units in the system
processes (supply - outgoing- purchases - sales). Where the
user will be able to enter the number of boxes or the number
of pieces used in the enterprise or the number of items per
square meter while keeping the square meter as the basic
measurement unit for the item operations (costs), so when
