Stock movements

See a complete overview of every stock change for each product.

Every time a product's stock changes, it is recorded as a stock movement. That way you always have a complete overview of what happened to your stock and why.

Where do you find stock movements?

Go to Products, open a product and go to the Stock history tab. Here you see all movements for that product, from newest to oldest.

What do you see per movement?

The following information is shown for each movement:

  • Reason: why the stock changed (see below)

  • Previous stock: the quantity before the change

  • New stock: the quantity after the change

  • Adjustment: the difference (green for an increase, red for a decrease)

  • Location: which warehouse location the change took place at

  • Date: when the change took place

Types of movements

The reason for a movement indicates what caused the stock to change. These are the types you may come across:

  • Stock updated: a manual adjustment of the stock

  • Picked: stock picked during the picking process

  • Order processed: stock definitively written off after shipping

  • Order canceled: reserved stock released again

  • Return: stock put back in stock after a return

  • Delivery received: stock added through a delivery from a supplier

  • Delivery reverted: the receipt of a delivery undone

  • Moved: stock moved from one location to another

  • Correction: an automatic correction by the system

  • Stock count: an adjustment after a stock count

  • Stock synced: stock taken over from a sales channel (this happens once, when a product is first retrieved from your sales channel)

  • Product missing during picking: a stock adjustment because a product was not found during picking

  • Wrong quantity during picking: a stock adjustment because a different quantity was found than expected

Why is this useful?

Stock movements help you explain stock discrepancies. If a product's stock is not correct, the movements let you see exactly when and why the stock changed. That way you can quickly find out whether a mistake was made or whether there is another explanation.
