Overview
Inventory keeps your stock honest: how much you have, where it is, what it is worth, and when to reorder. Deliveries and receipts flow through here automatically, and every stock movement posts its value to the books.

Tasks in Inventory
Operations
Check stock on hand
See how much of each product you have and what it is worth, find a product quickly, and see how its quantity got there.
Count stock
Count what is on the shelf, type it in, and let the system correct the quantity and the books.
Track lots, serial numbers and expiry dates
Track stock batch by batch or item by item. Receive goods with a lot number and an expiry date, then see every lot in one list.
Transfer stock between locations
Move goods from one stock location to another. The total stays the same; only the place changes.
Add freight and customs to stock cost (landed costs)
Share a freight, customs or handling cost across the goods you received, so each product's stock cost shows what it really cost to get to your shelf.
Scrap damaged stock
Write off goods that are damaged, expired or lost, so your stock and its value stay true.

Create a product
Add a stock item with its type, category, code and prices, so you can buy it, sell it and count it.
Choose a product type: storable, consumable or service
The Product Type decides whether SiaOne counts the stock, receives it, delivers it and values it.
Create product variants (size, colour)
Set up attributes such as Size and Colour once, then generate every combination of a product in one click.
Buy by the box, sell by the piece (units of measure)
Define a box (or dozen, or kilogram) once, buy in it, and let stock stay counted in the product's own unit.
