Inventory

Stock tracking and management

How does inventory tracking work?

The inventory system tracks the quantity of each product you have in stock. When you create an order, inventory is automatically deducted. You can also manually adjust quantities, for example when receiving new stock or accounting for samples.

What is batch management?

Batch management lets you track products by their best-before date (in YYYY-MM format). This is useful for products with expiration dates. When inventory is deducted for orders, the system uses FIFO (First In, First Out) — oldest batches are used first to minimize waste.

How do reorder alerts work?

You can set a reorder threshold for each inventory item. When the quantity drops below this threshold, you'll receive a low-stock alert on your dashboard and in the reminders section. This helps you reorder before running out of popular products.

How do I use the QR scanner to add inventory?

Tap the scanner button on the inventory page. Scan the product barcode — if the product is found, you'll see a confirmation with the product details. Then set the quantity and optionally a batch date, and confirm to add it to your inventory. If the product isn't found, you can create it directly from the scanner.
