How Do I Add a Product or Item Quantity (Count)?

In the system, an item is called a product, and the item count is the product quantity in stock. There are two ways to add the quantity:

First: for a new product
Enter the Initial Stock Level when adding the product, then click Save.

Second: for an existing product
To add a quantity, follow these steps:

  1. Open Inventory → Manage Requisitions.
  2. Click Add, then choose Manual Inbound.
  3. Set the date, and choose the warehouse if you have more than one warehouse.
  4. Add the product, quantity, and unit price, and the system shows the product balance before and after the transaction.
  5. Click Save.

Note: If you add a new product and enter its quantity from an inbound requisition, leave the Initial Stock Level empty so the quantity isn’t counted twice.

For the opening balance: use a manual inbound requisition so both the quantity and the value are affected. Entering the opening balance with a journal entry affects the account balance only.
