Inventory

How stock is deducted from inventory

Understand how stock quantities reduce when sales or invoices use inventory items.

Stock can be deducted when a sale or invoice is linked to inventory items.

When stock reduces

  • When an inventory-linked sale is saved.
  • When an invoice uses inventory items and the stock deduction flow is applied.

Why stock movements matter

Stock movements give you a history of why stock changed. This makes it easier to understand sales, adjustments, damaged stock, expired stock and corrections.

If stock does not reduce

Check that the sale or invoice item was actually linked to an inventory item. A normal sale note or description will not reduce stock unless an inventory item is selected.
