Stock only stays right if every movement is recorded. These are the movements.
Setting up
- How to add a product. Creating the item. Note that this gives you no stock on its own.
Stock coming in
- How to receive stock from a supplier. Your count goes up when you record the delivery, not when you place the order.
Stock going out
Selling through an invoice takes stock off automatically. Nothing extra to do.
Keeping it honest
- How to fix a stock count that is wrong. For breakages, expiry and the counts that have drifted.
- How to move stock between branches. Both ends have to agree.
The one habit that matters
Record the delivery when it arrives, not later. Nearly every count that goes wrong traces back to a delivery that went on the shelf before it went into HappyPet.
