Opening Stock

Opening stock records establish the baseline nozzle totalizer readings when a site first goes live on MyWestock. These readings become the "Previous reading" for the first Morning Confirmation.

Why opening stock matters

Without opening stock readings, the system cannot calculate the volume dispensed by each nozzle. The first Morning Confirmation will show "First reading for this nozzle" instead of a calculated delta.

Entering opening stock

  1. Go to Administration → Opening stock (Admin only).
  2. Select the site.
  3. For each nozzle, enter the totalizer reading at the go-live date.
  4. Click Save.

Admin only

Opening stock can only be set by Admins. Contact your administrator if you need to correct an opening stock reading.

Correcting an error

If an opening stock reading is incorrect, an Admin can update it provided no Morning Confirmation has been locked for that nozzle. Once a confirmation is locked, corrections must go through Meter Adjustments.
