# 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](https://docs.spendwelltechsystem.com/books/ihospitality-hub/page/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

1. Tap **Deduct Stock** from the Inventory Management screen.
2. Select the **Storage Room** the deduction is coming from.
3. Enter a **Reason** for the deduction.
4. Use **Search Items** to find the item(s), or scroll the table.
5. For each item, enter the quantity used/consumed in **Deduct Stock**. **Store New Stock** updates automatically to show the result.
6. 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](https://docs.spendwelltechsystem.com/books/ihospitality-hub/page/ihospitality-hub-setup) page.
