Bulk storage systems do not lend itself to easy verification of stocks, especially in the absence of in-line weighing equipment. Other methods available such as bin dipping can be used to give indication of stock position in the silo bins but must be used with caution as they are prone to error.
The difference in stock position between the records and actual physical status can be determined when the silo is emptied. The difference represents the storage loss or shortage.
The loss must be expected but it must be reasonable and within the norms in the practice.
