# Inventory

> Track stock by location and manage purchasing, transfers, counts, and labels.

Inventory turns your <a href="/docs/guides/products">products and variants</a> into sellable stock records. It tracks quantities by location and records every adjustment, sale, return, receipt, transfer, and count in a movement ledger.

Open <a href="https://www.boundbot.com/dashboard/inventory" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><b>Inventory</b></a> to review items and stock health.

## Understand the overview

The summary shows sellable items, available units, reserved units, low-stock or out-of-stock items, and stock value. Search or filter by product, variant, SKU, barcode, category, status, or location.

Each product without variants—or each variant of a variable product—has its own inventory item. **Available** stock is the amount that can still be sold after reservations are deducted from on-hand quantity.

## Configure an item

Open an inventory item to set:

* barcode
* cost price and currency
* low-stock threshold
* reorder point and reorder quantity
* preferred supplier
* whether quantity is tracked
* whether sales can backorder beyond available stock

Product price, SKU, image, and variant identity come from the product catalog. Saving a product without variants—or saving each variant of a variable product—creates or updates the matching inventory item.

## Adjust stock

Use **Adjust stock** for a controlled manual correction:

1. choose the location
2. add or remove a quantity
3. choose a reason such as count correction, stock received, damaged, lost, customer return, or other
4. add an internal note when it will help the audit trail

<Tip>
  Use purchase-order receiving, transfers, and inventory counts for those real operations. Reserve manual adjustments for corrections that do not belong to a more specific workflow.
</Tip>

## Set up locations and suppliers

Open <a href="https://www.boundbot.com/dashboard/inventory/operations" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><b>Inventory Operations</b></a> and use **Setup** to manage stock locations and suppliers. Give locations and suppliers stable names and codes so purchase orders, transfers, and counts remain easy to audit.

## Replenishment and purchase orders

The **Replenishment** tab suggests items whose available stock is at or below their reorder point. Suggestions account for quantities already outstanding on placed purchase orders.

Create a purchase order as a draft, add supplier and destination details, then place it. Receive items when they arrive; partial receiving is supported, so you can record multiple deliveries against one order.

## Transfers

Use **Transfers** to move stock between locations:

* create the transfer in draft
* ship it to deduct the shipped quantity from the source
* receive it to add the received quantity to the destination

Partial receiving is supported. Keep the transfer open until the destination has accounted for the full shipment.

## Inventory counts

Use **Counts** for full, cycle, or spot counts. Starting a count captures the expected quantity. Enter the observed quantity for each line and complete the count to post only the variance to the movement ledger.

<Warning>
  Review every variance before completing a count. Completion changes stock and preserves the result as an auditable inventory movement.
</Warning>

## Print labels

Open <a href="https://www.boundbot.com/dashboard/inventory/labels" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"><b>Inventory</b> → <b>Labels</b></a> to select items and print barcode or QR labels. Make sure the item's barcode is saved before generating barcode labels.
