Control stock, batches, barcodes and stocktakes

Use Tuaneka stock control to count inventory, track batches and resolve discrepancies.

Open Retail > Stock control for the active business. The workspace brings product search, bulk stock updates, units, barcodes, batches, stocktakes, exceptions and historical snapshots together without replacing the existing inventory ledger.

Use a stocktake when you need to compare the quantity physically counted with the quantity Tuaneka expects. Counted differences are reviewed before completion, and completion records the adjustment and acting user. Use batches for stock that has a lot number, received date or expiry date. The exception queue highlights low stock, sold-out items, stock differences and approaching expiry dates that need attention.

Barcodes and alternative units help staff find the right item at the counter. A product or variant remains the source record; the stock-control workspace adds operational identifiers and audit history. Always select the correct active business before counting or adjusting stock.
