Which SOM chapter is about Stock Control Functions?

• A. Bulk Fuel
• B. Postal Management
• C. Stock Control Functions
• D. Hotel Services Management

Answer: (C)

The main concept here is recognizing which SOM chapter handles inventory control and stock management. Stock Control Functions is the chapter that covers inventory processes—receiving, storing, issuing, and tracking stock, keeping accurate records, monitoring on-hand quantities, and performing stock verifications and adjustments (cycle counts, reconciliations, and variance handling). This focus on how stock is controlled and audited makes it the best fit for a question about stock control.

The other chapters describe different functional areas: Bulk Fuel deals with fuel handling, storage, and distribution; Postal Management covers mail operations; Hotel Services Management addresses lodging, meals, and related services. None of these center on inventory control in the way Stock Control Functions does.
