How goods move: the journey of stock into your business and out again, and the ledger that keeps it all honest. Inventory is the hub, with Purchase bringing goods in and Sales taking them out.
- How goods enter and leave, and the ledger that records every movement
- The four quantity buckets: physical, incoming, reserved, available
- How corrections, returns and traceability fit in
The journey, step by step
Goods in Purchase · Inventory
A goods receive (from a purchase order) brings stock into a location, raising the quantity on hand.
The stock ledger Inventory
You never edit a balance directly. Every document posts a signed entry to the stock ledger, and the quantity on hand is the running sum, double-entry thinking applied to goods.
Goods out Sales · Inventory
A delivery order draws stock down for a customer, capturing serial and batch numbers as the goods leave.
Correct and move Inventory
Adjustments fix a miscount (the difference posts as a gain or loss); movements relocate stock between locations and groups.
Know your position Inventory
Stock Finder reads the ledger live: how much you hold, where, and what is free to sell versus reserved.
Where it crosses modules
- Purchase to Inventory – goods receive raises stock.
- Sales to Inventory – delivery draws stock down; an order reserves it first.
Common variations
- Returns – goods come back in via a delivery return, often into a quarantine group.
- Traceability – serial and batch numbers are captured as goods move, for warranty and recall.
- Multi-location – stock is tracked per location; movements relocate it.
