Setting Up Stock

When it comes to stock management, Rentman offers two ways to keep track of your inventory.

When adding equipment, you can decide per equipment item which of the above described options you want to use.  

Influences on Stock Levels

How to make a correction to your stock 

It can, of course, happen that your stock is not entirely accurate, necessitating a correction to your current stock level. This can be easily accomplished by making a stock correction.

1. Go to the Equipment module and select an equipment; click on "Edit."
2. Navigate to the 'Stock' tab.
3. Click on
4. Enter the "New stock" position
   - Optional: Add details such as 'Name' (e.g., "delivery X was not complete"), Stock location and change the description if necessary (e.g., "Due to incomplete delivery").
5. Confirm.

Please kindly note that these steps are effective for bulk items.

The stock for serialized equipment is calculated based on the number of serial numbers. The stock can be changed in the 'Serial numbers' tab. For a more detailed guide, please watch this video.

Move stock between your stock locations

Bulk items

For bulk items, you can easily review the movement history of your stock by navigating to the Stock tab within an opened equipment item or physical combination.

Each stock movement can have a stock location assigned to it. The amount of stock at a given stock location can be changed by moving equipment to another stock location or correcting the current stock at the given stock location. Stock locations of past stock movements cannot be changed.

Serialized items

Each serial number has a stock location assigned to it. The stock location of a serial number can be changed by selecting another location in the Stock location field.

The stock location of multiple serial numbers can be changed at the same time by selecting the serial numbers and clicking edit Edit.

Schedule stock movement

When you buy new equipment, it won't be visible immediately, but you'll see the future stock increase soon. It's crucial to have this information in your overview for better project planning.

As time goes on, you may need to decrease your stock, like when you sell an item, to keep your inventory accurate.
