How to manage your stock

4 min readΒ·Beginner

If you sell physical products, CRMit can track how many you hold, where they are and how many are already promised to orders. Keeping stock accurate means you always know what you can sell. Here is how to manage it.

  1. Open your stock lists

    From the CRMit menu, open Stock Location List. Stock control needs to be turned on for a product before it appears here, which you set when you add the product.

  2. See stock levels by location

    The Stock Location List shows the quantity held for each product at each of your stock locations, so you can see at a glance what is where.

  3. Record stock transactions

    Open Stock Transaction List to record stock moving in and out. Click New Stock Transaction to add one, choosing the product, the location and the quantity. You can also use Move / Split Stock to shift stock between locations.

  4. Check reserved stock

    Open Reserved Stock List to see stock that is already held for sales orders. Reserved stock is set aside so it is not sold twice, and each line shows which order it is linked to.

  5. Adjust your levels

    After a stock count, record a transaction to bring the system in line with what you actually have on the shelf. This keeps your available quantities correct for the next sale.

Tip: Reserved stock shows what is already promised to orders, so the quantity you can still sell is your on-hand stock minus anything reserved. Check it before promising more to a customer.

What's next

With your stock under control, you can keep your catalogue up to date and take orders that reserve stock automatically.
