Inventory management

Overview

Inventory tracks products with SKU, barcode and QR, cost and selling prices, images, and per-warehouse stock (on hand, reserved, available).

Purpose

Keep accurate stock so orders reserve and deduct correctly.

Step-by-step guide

1. Add a product with its prices, SKU and barcode under Inventory, Products.
2. Set the opening stock; a stock movement is recorded.
3. Watch available stock as orders reserve and deduct.
4. Edit a product to adjust stock; every change is logged.

Common mistakes

• Editing the product stock number directly instead of using a count or adjustment.
• Ignoring low-stock alerts on the dashboard.

Best practices

• Use SKUs and barcodes so order entry can scan products.
• Set low-stock thresholds to get alerts before you run out.
