Add or remove stock
Add or remove stock with a reason, such as new stock, internal use or damaged, and see in the stock history what happened to a product.
Not every change in your stock comes from a sale, delivery or stocktake. If you use a bottle in the salon, something breaks or something comes back, you add or remove it yourself. You give a reason, so you can see later what happened.
Add or remove stock
- Go to Catalog › Products in the menu and click the product.
- Under Stock, click Add or Remove. The same choices are under Actions as Add stock and Remove stock.
- If you have several locations, choose the Location it is about. At the top you see In stock now and what it Becomes.
- Enter the Quantity.
- When adding, enter the Supply price apiece. If it differs from the product's supply price, choose with Save price for next time (ticked by default) whether it becomes the new supply price.

The reasons

Stock you add counts in the average supply price at the price you enter. Stock you remove goes off at the average supply price. You can only add or remove stock on a product that tracks stock.
