Unit of measure

The unit of measure will default to the one used for the previous return. For example, if you used hectolitres on your March return, the unit of measure will default to hectolitres for your April return.

You can change the unit of measure by selecting the radio button for litres or hectolitres. You can do this each period but NOT during an open period.

Please note: Only numeric characters can be entered in the columns:

• Number of cases

• Number of casks

• Quantity

Stock in warehouse at beginning of period

Unless the returns are out of sequence, you can't edit the amounts in the fields at the beginning of the period.

• Stock in warehouse at beginning of period: The amounts in the number of cases, number of casks and quantity columns are pre-populated from the closing stock on your previous period unless you submitted a nil return or out of sequence return.
• Adjustment: Enter adjustments to stock if the previous month's return was incorrect.
• Reason for adjustment: If you have completed one or more of the adjustment fields you must give a reason for the adjustment.

Receipts for period

Enter all stock received from within the EU and outside of the EU including stock from other UK warehouses. If you enter your stock in litres, you can record the product amount to the nearest whole number or to two decimal places.

If you enter your stock in hectolitres, you must record the product amount to two decimal places.

Removals during period

Enter all stock removed from your warehouse including losses and destructions. If you enter your stock in litres, you can record the product amount to the nearest whole number or to two decimal places.

If you enter your stock in hectolitres, you must record the product amount to two decimal places.

Stock in warehouse at end of period

These fields will be populated as you complete the return and are non-editable.
