Stock management

Introduction

The simplified stock management function is available from the 5.05.001 version.
The stock management is independent for each device and can be used without Internet connection.
The stock synchronisation is not available between several POS, you can activate this simplified stock management on each POS and also on your Backoffice.

· Two ways of stock management available :

  1. A shop / store stock management, called Stock management, that makes it possible to follow the evolution of your stock according to your inventories, entry stocks, sales and stock withdrawals. The stock can be reboot by an inventory and is stored after each cashing up.
  2. A catering / bakery stock management, called Inventory management upon the service opening, that allows you to follow your stock by service. The user can then manage his dish / drink stocks by rebooting the stock at the beginning of each service

 

Stock management activation

  1. Click on Settings
  2. Tick Activate the Stock management
  3. Tick Manage the inventory upon the service opening only if you want to reboot the stock at each cashing up / closing of service.

Once the stock management is activated, a button Stock management appears in the menu bar on the left of the main screen of your POS.
