Watch Elliot talk through these updates, or read about them below:
💯 Product stats
Starting stock count, for any time period, you can view the starting stock count for the product across all store locations, or filtered by variant and/or store location.
Net stock added, for any time period, you can see how many items were received into your store, either through a purchase order, transfer-in (for multi-location stores) or adjustment. We subtract vendor returns, transfers-out and adjustment decreases (like damaged/lost items) to arrive at net stock added.
Net items sold, for any time period, you can see how many items were sold, minus returns.
Ending stock count, for any time period, you can see the total ending stock count for the product across all locations, or filtered down to a specific variant and/or location.
🦾 Product actions menu
Print barcode labels, will take you directly into the label printing page with the product preloaded where you can customize your print options and finish printing barcode labels.
Adjust stock, will take you into a new adjustment order with the product preloaded where you can easily adjust stock counts.
Purchase stock, will take you into a new purchase order with the product preloaded.
Return stock, will take you into a new vendor return order with the product preloaded.
Transfer stock, will take you into a new transfer order with the product preloaded.
Archive, will archive the product. This action removes the product from all sales channels, including online channels and in-store POS, but does not delete the product. It can be undone.
🟢 New variants table layout
The new variants table is all about scan-ability, giving merchants the high-level view immediately, while still providing drill down options to go deeper.
The new table offers a color coded list of variants grouped by variant name. We sum the total stock count for each variant, then break it down by store location. This provides a better high-level view of your stock counts per color variant.
Clicking on a color variant will open a nested table of size variants with new column values, including pricing and SKU/barcode per size variant. Clicking on “Expand all” at the top will reveal all size variants. Clicking it again will collapse the table back to color variants only.
🌅 New stock history table, filters and CSV file export
The stock history table offers an unparalleled view into a product’s stock activity. Every single change in stock count, across any time period, provided at the tip of your fingers. Filters (i.e: time period, store location, variant, order type) allow for easily viewing or auditing exactly the stock changes you need. And now you can download these as a CSV file for further analysis in a spreadsheet app.
