Product Inventory Fields

| SKU/Barcode | Unique stock keeping unit or barcode identifier | Products & Services page |

| Reorder At | Threshold that triggers low stock warning | Products & Services page (when Maintain Stock is checked) |

Stock Status Indicators

Low Stock Indicators and Reorder Points
Set reorder points for your products to see visual low stock warnings in the inventory list. When stock falls at or below the reorder point, items display a yellow "Low Stock" indicator.
Setting Up Reorder Points
Go to Products & Services from the sidebar menu.
Click on a product to open the edit form.
Check the Maintain Stock checkbox to enable inventory tracking for this product.
Enter a value in the Reorder At field. When quantity falls to this level or below, the product will show as "Low Stock" in the inventory list.
When setting reorder points, factor in supplier lead times. If a part takes 2 weeks to arrive and you use 5 per week, set your reorder point to at least 10 units plus a safety buffer.
Stock Status Behavior
| Condition | Status Shown | Color |
|---|---|---|
| Quantity = 0 | Out of Stock | Red |
| Quantity <= Reorder At (and Reorder At > 0) | Low Stock | Yellow/Orange |
| Quantity > Reorder At (or no reorder point set) | In Stock | Green |
Updating Stock Quantities
Stock quantities are managed through the Products & Services page. To adjust inventory levels, edit the product and update the quantity field.
How to Update Stock
Click on Products & Services in the sidebar, or use the Manage Products button on the Inventory page.
Use the search box or scroll through the product list to find the item you want to update.
Click on the product row to open the edit form. Make sure Maintain Stock is checked.

For bulk inventory updates or imports, consider using the Syncro integration if available, which can sync product quantities between systems.
Multi-Location Inventory
If you operate multiple shops or locations, you can assign products to specific locations and view inventory by location in the product details modal.

When editing a product in Products & Services, you can select a location for that product's inventory.
Viewing Location Inventory

The inventory page shows "All Locations" by default, displaying total quantities across all locations. Location-specific filtering may be available depending on your configuration.
