Inventory overview
The Inventory sidebar covers stock — what you currently hold, the arrivals coming in from suppliers, and the deliveries going out to customers.
What lives under Inventory
- Stock — the snapshot of what you currently hold, broken down by warehouse, room, and rack. Also the launch point for transfers and per-product history.
- In Stock — arrivals from suppliers. Tabs cover Pending Arrivals, Pending Approvals, and Arrival History.
- Delivery Receipt — outgoing dispatches recorded against customer orders. Documented in Delivery receipt.
Before you start
- Your warehouses, rooms, and racks must already exist. See Warehouses and Warehouse rooms.
- Your products must exist as product heads with codes. See Products and Product codes.
- Suppliers must exist if you are recording incoming stock. See Suppliers.
A typical inventory week
- A supplier delivers goods. You log the arrival from In stock, either as a fresh entry or against an existing purchase order.
- The arrival is approved and stock lands in the chosen warehouse, room, and rack.
- As stock moves between locations, you log the movements with Transfer stock.
- When stock leaves for a customer, the dispatch is recorded against the order — see Delivery receipt.
- You review per-product history through the Manage action on the Stock screen — see Stock history.
Common questions
Why does the stock figure differ between two screens?
The figures are computed from the same underlying movements, but the location filters in Stock may be narrowing what you see. Make sure each screen is filtered to the same warehouse and product before comparing.
Can I record a manual stock adjustment?
The Stock screen exposes a Physical Stock Entry action for users with the matching permission. It records a plain ±N movement at a rack — add stock that came in outside the arrival flow, or write off stock found missing during a count.
