Comparing Fixed Stocks

The Compare Fixed Stocks function is a test tool for checking the results of the various calculation methods for stock determination.

You can use this function to check whether the results of one calculation method (for example, one that does not use fixed stocks: schema C/classic) agree with the results of another calculation method (such as one that uses fixed stocks: schema P/performant).

The system issues a list that compares the results of the two selected calculation methods.The list also includes any shortfalls.

Example

You can use the Delete Fixed Stocks function to solve problems such as the following:

  • You only need fixed stocks temporarily. You calculate fixed stocks in preparation for a tax audit, and do not need them afterwards. You can therefore delete the fixed stocks once you are finished.

  • Certain fixed stocks are incorrect. Errors occurred during the update of the fixed stocks. In this case, delete the affected fixed stocks and generate new ones.
