Stock updates itself for every product that tracks stock. Goods received add to it, sales take from it, and each product shows how many are left.
What changes the stock
- Goods Receiving against a purchase order adds stock.
- Sales take stock away.
- Record Stock lets you add opening stock, stock in or stock out by hand, or enter a counted quantity.
- Open Products and edit the product.
- Turn on Track stock.
- Optionally set a Reorder level so it's flagged as low stock once it falls that far.
Good to know The Inventory page lists every batch with stock left, and the home page shows low stock, out-of-stock items and your stock value at cost.
