Lesson 3

Quantity-based inventory management

Inventory is for consumable items, supplies, parts, and stock quantities. It tracks how much is on hand, where it is stored, and what happens when stock is received, used, or moved.

Inventory is quantity-based

PyneTrack separates consumable stock from individually tracked equipment. Tires, filters, gloves, batteries, and supplies belong in Inventory when the main question is quantity.

Stock changes through actions

Receiving adds quantity, using inventory removes quantity, and moving inventory transfers quantity between locations.

Minimum quantities support review

A minimum quantity helps identify low stock before an item runs out. The dashboard and reports can surface these records for review.

Training steps

  1. Create categories and locations first.
  2. Open Inventory.
