How do I add stock items and places?

Open Stock Management › Items & places. Add a place for every spot where you keep stock, then add each thing you keep as an item, with its unit, the other units you buy it in, and the level at which you want a warning.

Where to find it

Admin › ERP › Stock Management › Items & places (আইটেম ও জায়গা).

The store owner, the Admin, the Manager, the Production Manager and the Stock Manager see this page. Others with the Stock (in & out) tick can write entries but do not change the lists.

Step by step

Places

1. Under Places, type a name in New place (e.g. Godown 2) and press Save.
2. Add every place you use: factory, godown, office, shop. You can rename a place later.

Items

1. Press Add an item.
2. Write the Name (for example "Turkey fabric") and, if it comes in colours or designs, the Colour / design ("Maroon"). Each colour or design is its own item, so you see each one's stock.
3. Choose a Kind if you like (Body fabric, Lace …) to group similar items, and a Code (SKU) if you use one.
4. Pick the main Unit: gaj, yard, metre, kg, pcs, roll, than, dozen, set, bosta, box or litre. Stock is always counted in this unit.
5. Under Also written in, add the other units you buy or use it in, with How many in one? — for example roll = 55 gaj. Entries in rolls are then turned into gaj by themselves.
6. Set Warn at (for example 50). When the stock falls to this level, the item shows as Running low.
7. Choose where it is usually Kept in, add a Note if needed, and press Save.

Good to know

• Hide, do not delete. Untick In use to hide an item you no longer buy. Its entries stay in the reports.
• Items are also made for you. When goods received from a supplier go into stock, the item is made by itself if it was not there yet.
• Starting stock: after adding items, write what you already have with an Opening stock entry.
