Thanks for the input - no this is stock going missing, either selling to clients or being installed into kit. Another issue is people putting stuff *into* stock and again not updating it. Example. I came onto shift today to see 2 LC-LC fibres on my desk, no note left with them, no one has mentioned them to me yet, so do I stock them, bin them, install them, sell them?
I do believe this is a management issue also, however I need to do something, as no one else will. Seeing as everyone assumes I manage the stock, it'll come down onto me if something doesn't line up, and I'm not risking wage deductions/disciplinary/other sanction for someone else's laziness/cock-ups. I'm going to look into it a bit more in depth later on this evening when it's a bit quieter, see what I can work out. It's a tough one, as Racktables is obviously for rack management, IP management etc, so trying to use it for stock isn't going to work IMO as it requires more steps to do something a POS system stock module is built to do.

Of course > that assumes that all thieves actually think lol I should clarify that my previous email referred to sneaking stuff out of the stock room for legitimate company purposes and just not bothering to update the stock lists because it's a pain in the bum and we're all a bit lazy about filling forms and ticking boxes. I.e. not pilfery / theft. If there is a theft problem, that is an entirely different situation which required legal and/or professional HR advice. At the very least, you will need formal procedures in place to handle asset theft, as in the event of people being found out, it will normally mean dismissal if not criminal proceedings. Nick
