How to add a sale from inventory

A sale from inventory is used when you want Bizwazi to calculate the sale from stock items and reduce stock automatically. This is useful for shops and businesses that sell physical items.

Steps

• Open Sales from the bottom navigation.
• Tap Add Sale.
• Choose Sell from inventory.
• Choose the account where the money was received: Cash, M-PESA, or Bank.
• Choose a category if needed.
• Choose an inventory item in the Sell from inventory section.
• Enter the quantity sold.
• Check the price and line total.
• Add another item if the sale contains more than one stock item.
• Review the calculated total.
• Add or edit the note if needed.
• Tap Save sale.

What Bizwazi calculates

• Bizwazi uses the selected inventory items and quantities to calculate the sale total.
• The line total is based on quantity multiplied by price.
• The calculated total becomes the sale amount.
• The selected stock quantities are reduced after saving.

Stock check section

• Stock now shows the current recorded stock before saving.
• Already on this sale helps show quantity already included in the current sale row.
• Available for this edit helps prevent accidentally overselling stock.
• Stock after save shows what the stock should become after the sale is saved.
• SKU and unit help identify the stock item correctly.

Useful tips

• Use stock-linked sale when stock should reduce automatically.
• Check the selected item carefully before saving.
• Check the quantity because quantity errors can make stock wrong.
• Check the price if you gave a discount or special price.
• Use inventory sales for physical stock, not for service-only income.
