TRAINING MANUAL FOR UNION STORE KEEPERS
Stocks are goods either as raw materials or finished goods held either on temporal or
permanent basis by an organization for usage or for resale
Stocks are non cash current assets of the cooperative which are converted to cash
when sold. They constitute a major current asset of a produce cooperative.
Stock quantities, qualities and cash values can be increased, maintained or reduced
based on the way stocks are handled.
A Store is an area set aside into which all the items and materials required for
production and/or for sale/distribution are received, where they are housed for
safekeeping, and from which they will be issued as required.
Store keepers are keepers of the stores and the stocks within the stores. They are the
store bookkeepers and the store accountants
Stock management is the practice of ordering, receiving, stacking, storing, tracking
and controlling of stocks or inventory.
