Storeroom Stock Deduction
The Storeroom Stock Deduction module on the iHospitality Hub lets employees manage a storeroom's stock directly from a shared kiosk device — deducting stock that's been used or consumed. Form-based actions update that storeroom's item counts once approved.
This module only appears on hubs where Storeroom Stock Deduction was checked under Hub Modules, and only for employees whose User Role has Can iHospitality Hub Login enabled — see the iHospitality Hub Setup page.
Storeroom Stock Deduction Screen
After signing in and tapping Storeroom Stock Deduction, the employee sees two options.
What this screen means: Deduct Stock removes stock that's been used or consumed. Which action to take depends on what the employee is there to do — receiving new stock vs. logging what was used.
Deduct Stock
Removes stock from a chosen storeroom once it's been used or consumed.
What this screen means: Choose the storeroom and enter how much of each item was used — the form shows the resulting stock level before you approve it.
Key Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Deduction ID | Auto-generated, e.g. QICCDED-14. Read-only. |
| Storage Room | Required — the storeroom this deduction is for, e.g., "Maintenance Stores." |
| Reason | Free-text field to note why the stock is being deducted. |
| Search Items | Search box to find items to add to the table below. |
| Item Code / Item Name | Identifies the item. |
| Store Stock | The quantity of this item currently in this storeroom, before this deduction. |
| Deduct Stock | The quantity the employee wants to remove — editable input. |
| Store New Stock | Auto-calculated preview of what the storeroom's stock will become once approved: Store Stock − Deduct Stock. |
Note: The Deduct Stock table has fewer columns than the Assign table — there's no Unit or Available Stock column here, since deduction only concerns what's already in this storeroom.
Steps
- Tap Deduct Stock from the Inventory Management screen.
- Select the Storage Room the deduction is coming from.
- Enter a Reason for the deduction.
- Use Search Items to find the item(s), or scroll the table.
- For each item, enter the quantity used/consumed in Deduct Stock. Store New Stock updates automatically to show the result.
- Tap APPROVE to confirm the deduction, or RESET to clear the form.
Workflow
Employee taps Storeroom Stock Deduction → Identifies via PIN/face → Selects Storage Room → Enters quantities per item → Reviews New/Store New Stock → APPROVE
Important Notes
- Store Stock always refers to what's currently in the selected storeroom — it's the starting point for both Assign and Deduct.
- On the Assign form, Available Stock comes from overall inventory, not the storeroom itself — it's how much could be assigned, separate from what's already there.
- New Store Stock (Assign) and Store New Stock (Deduct) are both previews calculated automatically as you type — nothing is updated in the system until APPROVE is tapped.
- RESET clears the form without saving; it does not undo an assignment/deduction that was already approved.
- This module only appears on hubs where Inventory Management was checked under Hub Modules — see the iHospitality Hub Setup page.
