How to handle out-of-stock items
Understand what to do when inventory quantity reaches zero.
An out-of-stock item is an item with no available stock recorded in Bizwazi.
What to do
- Check the stock movement history.
- Confirm whether the item is truly out of stock.
- Create a supplier bill or stock adjustment when new stock arrives.
- Avoid selling stock that is not available unless your business allows backorders.
Good practice
- Use low-stock alerts so you can restock before items reach zero.
