Review an item's stock behaviour and accounting mappings before using it in transactions.
Step by step
- 1Open the product and choose the item type and stock-tracking behaviour appropriate to the business.
- 2Review the available sales, purchase, inventory and cost-related account mappings required by that item type.
- 3Check account currency and company scope with your accountant; product-specific mappings can override shared posting defaults.
- 4Confirm the selected branch has enough available stock before posting an invoice or POS sale.
- 5Review any batch, expiry or serial settings supported by the product and use them consistently in physical movements.
Do not change item settings to bypass a stock shortage or use a service item to conceal a physical inventory movement.
