Stock and inventory
With stock tracking, every sale books stock out and every void books it back in. In retail it is included. It is maintained in two places: on the item and in stock management.
1. Settings on the item
In the back office, item maintenance is called Products in retail and Services & products for service businesses. On the item you will find:
- EAN / barcode – digits only, at most 14.
- Weighed item – no, price per 100 g (scale) or price per kg (scale).
- Stock tracking – tick it so that the item gets a stock level.
- Warning level – appears with stock tracking; from this quantity on, the item is highlighted.
2. Stock management
Under Stock the back office shows all items with stock tracking in the columns Item, Stock, Warning and sold today. If the stock is at or below the warning level, the row is red. The tick box Reorder list only hides everything else.
3. Restocking and stock counts
| Button | What for |
|---|---|
| Restock … | Book in a delivery: you enter the number of units being added. |
| Count … | Enter the counted stock; DevyPOS books the difference. |
Clicking the item name opens the History with the last 50 movements: sale, void, restock or count, each with note and staff member.
4. How the stock level comes about
The stock is the sum of all movements. Nothing is overwritten, so every level can be traced.
