Meaning
English
A stock register is the record of each item a business holds: what came in, what went out and what is left on hand.
Roman Urdu
Stock register me likha jata hai ke har cheez kitni aayi, kitni gayi aur kitni bachi hai.
Also called stock book, godown register, inventory register.
Example
A hardware store notes 50 bags of cement received on Monday and 12 sold by Wednesday. The register shows 38 on hand, which the owner checks against the shelf each month.
Why it breaks down on paper
A paper register works until the counter is busy. Sales are not written, returns are forgotten and the balance drifts away from the shelf. The fix is to make every movement come from a document: a purchase adds stock, a bill removes it, a return adds it back, and a count corrects the difference with a reason.
In Nafaa
Nafaa updates stock from purchases, bills, returns, transfers and adjustments, and keeps a movement history for each product. A stock count compares the shelf with the system and records the difference. See inventory management.
