The Stock Engine
Stock Ledger Management
Every stock movement - sales, returns, adjustments - is logged in a central ledger, giving you full traceability.
What the Ledger Tracks:
-
Stock additions and removals
-
Status changes (e.g., For Sale → Assigned)
-
Reason for movement (e.g., sale, refund, write-off)
-
Timestamps and associated transactions
Stock Status Definitions
All inventory marked as “On Hand” is physically present in your business. From there, stock can fall into different sub-statuses:
Stock Status | Description |
---|---|
For Sale | Available to sell or display, syncs to websites |
Assigned | Committed to orders, laybys, or transfers |
On Hand | Includes both “For Sale” and “Assigned” |
Stock Movement Events
Event Name | What It Does |
---|---|
Sale (Cash & Carry) | Deducts from stock and removes “On Hand” |
Adjustment Out | Manual removal (e.g., damage, theft) |
Adjustment In | Manual addition (e.g., stock found, correction) |
Receipt | Adds stock from a purchase or transfer |
Order Creation | Moves stock from “For Sale” to “Assigned” |
Refund | Returns stock to “On Hand” if item is resalable |
Every event updates the ledger and product availability in real time.
