# Stock Tracking

Stock tracking lets you monitor how much of each product you have on hand. The system keeps your counts accurate by deducting stock automatically when orders are completed.

## Setting Initial Stock Quantities

You set the starting stock quantity when you create a new product.

1. Go to **Products** from the sidebar menu.
2. Tap **Add Product** or edit an existing product.
3. Find the **Stock** or **Inventory** section.
4. Enter the initial quantity on hand.
5. Save the product.

You can update this number at any time by editing the product.

## Viewing Current Stock

You can check the current stock level for any product from its detail screen.

1. Go to **Products** from the sidebar menu.
2. Tap on the product you want to check.
3. View the **Stock** field to see the current quantity.

Products with low stock are highlighted so you can spot them quickly.

## How Automatic Deduction Works

The system adjusts stock counts for you. Here is how it works:

- A customer places an order that includes the product.
- The order is marked as completed.
- The system subtracts the ordered quantity from the product's stock.

You do not need to update stock manually after each sale.

## Setting Low-Stock Thresholds

You can define a minimum stock level for each product. When stock reaches that number, the product appears in your low-stock alerts.

1. Edit the product.
2. Set the **Low Stock Threshold** value.
3. Save your changes.

## Tips for Accurate Stock Tracking

- **Set quantities carefully** when first adding products.
- **Do regular stock counts** to verify system numbers match reality.
- **Adjust stock manually** if you receive new shipments or find discrepancies.
- **Use low-stock alerts** so you never run out of popular items.
