NOTE: This should only be used when correcting inventory discrepancies.

Overview

Sometimes inventory can appear out of nowhere — this is when you'd use the Manual Stock Entry feature. This should NOT be used frequently as we have a host of other mechanisms for stock entries:

  1. Receive a Purchase Order

  2. Receive a Return

  3. Transfer between Warehouses

If the use-case does not fall into any of the above categories, then please follow the instructions below to initiate a Manual Stock Entry.

Creating a Manual Stock Entry

  1. Navigate to the "Create Manual Stock Entry" page via the "Inventory" dashboard

  2. Select "StockEntry-Manual" under "Stock Entry Type". Confirm all other fields are correctly pre-selected

  3. Click on "Scan Items" and scan each item into the entry, then hit "Save"

  4. Verify that all information is correct before hitting "Submit"
