Inventory Tracking

Inventory tracking shows how much of each product you have on hand at each location, warns you when you're running low, and keeps a history of every change.

Inventory Overview

What it is: An inventory item is a vendor item (something you buy) or a prep recipe (something you make) whose stock you track at a location.

Why you'd use it:

• Know what's on hand before you order
• Get warned when stock drops below your par level
• See every purchase, count, waste entry, and adjustment that changed a stock level
• Feed accurate numbers into food cost (COGS) reports

How it fits together:

Vendor Items / Prep Recipes → tracked as → Inventory Items (per location)
Purchase orders & invoices  → add stock
Counts                      → correct stock
Waste logs                  → remove stock
Transfers                   → move stock between locations
