Stock

Stock tab unites six tabs, all concerning stock management and warehouse operations.

Private stock

If the product you are viewing is stored at your warehouse (private or fulfillment), detailed information about the location it is kept at, and stock transactions can be found on this tab.

Depending on which mode your warehouse is functioning at the moment, simple or advanced, the interface of this tab could differ.

Simple warehousing

product-details-private-stock-simple-warehousing

For simple warehousing, you can move the stock and adjust the product's stock level without creating a purchase order and provisioning it to the store. The stock could be syncronized from your warehousing system using scheduled excel import or via API.

A button Add new location adds stock to a different location from the one listed in a grid.
Without a purchase order or specifying the purchase price (it takes the purchase price of the preferred supplier), you can create a new simple product stock item at the warehouse.
Stock update - enables editing stock on a specific location.
Stock move - moves stock from one location to another.
You can also Park stock by clicking the shopping cart button at the end of the location row.

Advanced warehousing

After the product is turned into an advanced product, each stock item receives a unique barcode label. It won't be possible to add a product to stock without a purchase order and specifying the required details for each stock item.
Some additional operations, like stock move can be done from the Warehouse operations page.

Supplier stock

product-details-stock-supplier-stock

Here the information about the availability of this product in your supplier's warehouses is accumulated. You can update the stock balance directly on this page by clicking the update button. Or upload an Excel file with price and stock data on the supplier's details page. Please see Import Supplier Products for more details.

Parked stock

product-details-parked-stock

When your system is set the way that products are automatically allocated for the orders, it might happen that you need to reserve part of the stock for specific orders.

You can park part of the not-allocated stock from the private stock tab. Or use Deallocate and park stock option on the orders tab.
From this page, you can view how many stock items of the product were parked and manage these items.

Remove - deletes the whole quantity of the selected parked items. All of the stock items selected will receive the deleted stamp in the warehouse and won't be available for allocation anymore.
Release as available stock - changes the status of the parked stock items to available so that products will be automatically allocated to the backorders if there are any.
Assign to orders - opens a new screen where you can decide which of the backorders to allocate the parked product.

Stock move - opens a new window offering to move stock from the current location to the other.

Please see Parked Stock to learn more on how to park and allocate reserved stock.

Stock history

The stock history tab will provide information only if the Keep stock setting is enabled in the stock settings tab.

product-details-stock-history

This tab will display three charts: Quantity available, Quantity on hand, and Quantity reserved.
You can change the period and the warehouse for which you want to view the chart. By default, it is set to all warehouses. Another consolidation option for the charts is all dropship warehouses.

Stock transactions

From this tab you can track movement of the particular product stock items at your warehouse. Use search to filter by warehouse, location or reason for stock movement.
product-details-stock-transactions

Stock transactions track not only the transactions of your private or fulfillment warehouses but also the purchase products transactions linked to this product on your supplier warehouse. So if you update the supplier price list through the supplier import, the change in stock will be reflected on this page as well.

Stock settings

The number of settings located on this page is dependant on the mode of your private warehouse.

Simple warehousing settings

product-details-stock-settings-simple
