Stock card
In one sentenceA record for each item showing its movements by date: receipts, issues and the balance after each movement, and usually the cost, warehouse and document.
Simply put
The stock card is the item's account statement: just as a customer statement shows invoices and payments, the card shows everything that came in and went out of the item.
You refer to it whenever there is a count difference to find out when the difference started, or to track the item's cost and how it changes with each purchase.
Worked example

Balance at the start of the week50 tins
+ Received from the supplier30 tins
− Issued to the kitchen45 tins
Balance at the end of the week = 50 + 30 − 4535 tins
