Before you begin

Named owners for catalog, receiving, transfers, counts and variance approval.

Where to go

Locations → Products → Inventory guide

Visible menus may vary with language, permissions, app version and shop configuration.

Follow these steps

  1. Separate catalog from balances: SKU, variant, pack and stock policy define the item; actual quantity belongs to a branch and size.
  2. Define branches/warehouses and task owners. Verify product, purchase, inventory.transfer, inventory.count and inventory.count.apply permissions by role.
  3. Choose a cutover date. For migration, retain source records, perform a physical count and load opening stock once with traceable evidence.
  4. Agree on shared terms: sellable, reserved, in transit, quarantined, damaged, missing and unknown. Do not collapse them into one on-hand number.

How to verify success

The team can identify each balance, its approver and its source evidence.
