What you see depends on who you are. Owners and managers get a network-wide
console view across every warehouse, kitchen, and outlet. Outlet staff see
only their own outlet’s stock. The sections below call out which is which.
How stock is valued
Quantities are stored in each item’s base unit (UOM). The value of what’s on hand isquantity × average cost, where the average cost is
maintained by weighted moving average (WMA) — every
receipt blends the price you just paid into the running average. So “stock value”
always reflects what your inventory actually cost you, not a list price.
An item is flagged low when its on-hand quantity falls to or below the
par level / reorder point set for it at that location.
Items with no par set are never flagged low.
The console view (owner / manager)
Managers and owners land on a dashboard home that rolls the whole network into a few headline numbers, then drill into the full inventory screen for detail.Dashboard headlines
The owner home surfaces, at a glance:Stock value
Total value of on-hand stock across all locations, with a count of how many
locations it spans.
Low stock
How many items are below their threshold network-wide — a one-tap route into
the low-stock list.
Active POs
Open purchase orders, and how many are in transit toward a location.
Procurement spend
Month-to-date spend with a trend versus last month and a six-month bar trend.
The inventory screen
Opening the inventory screen gives managers and owners two toggles:Warehouse · master
The full item catalog at the warehouse, as a table: each item’s tier
(raw / semi / finished), category, average price, on-hand quantity, par, a
level bar, and value. A KPI band on top shows warehouse inventory value, total
SKUs, value held at outlets, and how many items are below half-par. You can
filter by tier, by category, or to just the low items, and search by name.
The inventory screen is also where you reach a stock take. The on-hand
figures it shows are the recorded balance; a stock take is how you reconcile
that against a physical count. See the
glossary for stock take and variance.
A single outlet’s stock (console)
Opening an outlet card shows every item stocked there as a read-only table — on-hand vs par with level bars, a value column, and a status pill that reads OK, WATCH, or LOW depending on how far on-hand has dropped against par. Three KPIs head the page: stock value, the at-par percentage, and how many items are below half-par. You can search, filter to just the low items, and copy an item’s SKU. Counting itself happens in the stock take, not here.Per-item drill-down
From any inventory list, opening an item shows its full stock story:- Total stock across locations, the par, and the last price paid.
- Stock by location — a row per location with on-hand, a level bar, and that location’s par, so you can see where the stock actually sits.
- Sourcing — the vendors that supply the item, with the preferred/default one marked.
- Recent movement — the stock ledger for this item: GRNs received, transfers in and out, consumption, opening balances, and adjustments, each with a signed quantity and when it happened.
- Change history — the field-level audit log (old value → new value, who, when). This section is owner/manager-only; other personas see the item read-only without it.
The staff (outlet) view
Outlet staff see a stock screen scoped to their own outlet — never another outlet’s, and never the warehouse master. It opens with two stat tiles:- On-hand value — the value of stock currently in their outlet.
- Below par — how many items have dropped below their par, out of the total.
Low-stock alerts
The dedicated low-stock screen lists items at or below their reorder threshold, split into Out of stock (nothing on hand) and Running low, with a search box. The action button adapts to who you are: managers and owners get Raise PO (straight into a new purchase order), while staff get Order (into a purchase request). This list is scoped to the master warehouse, matching the console’s “running low” headline.Low-stock counts and the stock dashboard always agree because both read the same
live balances. If a number looks off, confirming a pending
GRN or posting a stock-take adjustment will bring it
current.
