Add an inventory item
Create stock items with a base unit, opening stock, reorder threshold and cost.
Create the item
- Admin console → Inventory →
+ Item. - Name, Base unit (the unit the balance lives in).
- Opening stock — counted, physical stock right now. It is disabled on existing items on purpose: later changes go through Adjust so every move is ledgered.
- Low-stock threshold ("Reorder at") and cost per base unit.
- Optionally link a supplier and allow extra units with conversion factors.
- Save — "Inventory item saved"; the opening balance is posted to the ledger.
Items you sell as-is
Bottles, cans, packets you sell without cooking: pick a countable base unit (bottle/can/…) and set the direct-sale menu item — stock then deducts on sale without needing a recipe.
