Before you start: turn on Inventory

Inventory is off until you turn it on. Ask Alori in your Chat: "add inventory". It shows in your app's menu under Purchasing & inventory at once. If Alori says your app needs an update first, click Upgrade, then ask again.

Step 1: Open Inventory

Click Inventory in the menu. You see every item with its code, name, and how many are In stock, Incoming, Committed and Available. Type in Search a code or a name to find one.

Click: Inventory

Step 2: Add the item

Click New item. Fill in:

  • Code: your own part number, like FLT-1620. Two items can't have the same code, however it's typed (FLT-1620 and flt 1620 are the same).

  • Name: what you call it.

  • How many you have now: it's counted in your main place (the warehouse) to start.

Click Price, supplier, safety stock for the rest: the Unit (each, m, ft, kg, lb, L, box), Sale price, Average cost, Safety stock, a Supplier with its code and Purchase price, and a Description. Turn off Count its stock for something you buy for one job and never keep.

Click Add item.

Step 3: See the item's page

Click an item to open its page. You see how many are available, in stock, incoming and committed, how many each place holds, its sale price, average cost and value, its suppliers, and every change to its stock. Click Edit to change its name, unit or prices.

If it doesn't work

  • "Another item already has that code." Pick another code, or open the item that has it.

  • "Give it a code." or "Give it a name." Both are needed to add an item.

  • You don't see Inventory in the menu. Ask Alori in your Chat to add inventory. Your role also needs the Inventory switch on, in Users › the role.
