Feature

Always know what's in stock, before it runs out.

Set up stock categories and measurement units once, then record consumption and controlled adjustments so the quantity on hand always matches what's actually in your lab. Every adjustment carries a reason code and a full movement history, so a balance can always be explained and traced back to a supplier receipt, a recorded consumption, or an approved correction.

Inventory Management

Why labs use Inventory Management

A balance you can always explain

Every quantity change is backed by a supplier receipt, a consumption record, or a reason-coded adjustment - never an unexplained number.

Corrections that stay controlled

Adjustments require a reason - Opening Balance, Sample, Count Correction, or Other - so corrections don't quietly become a workaround for missing records.

More accurate case costing

Know true material costs per case with inventory tied directly to usage.

What inventory management gives your lab

Stock categories & measurement unitsGroup supplies into categories like Ceramics or Packaging, each with its own consistent measurement unit.
Consumption recordingLog the quantity, date, and reference each time materials are used, close to when they're actually consumed.
Reason-coded adjustmentsCorrect a quantity with a required reason - Opening Balance, Sample, Count Correction, or Other - and an explanation for reviewers.
Movement history & audit trailReview purchases, consumption, and adjustments in sequence for any item, and compare against a physical count.
Accounting-linked adjustmentsRoute adjustments that affect the books to the right financial category, so inventory and accounting stay in sync.

Common questions about Inventory Management

Yes - low-stock items surface through the notification bell alongside case and order alerts, so your team can reorder before you run out.

Review the item's movement history against purchase receipts, consumption, and adjustments, and perform a physical count before posting a correction.

Only during an approved initial setup or migration - use 'Count Correction' after a documented physical count instead.
