Adding Inventory
The main way to add packaged inventory is to add it via a packaging transaction, but you can add it here if you are backfilling inventory or receiving inventory from anywhere other than your current beer production in your tanks.
- Navigate to the inventory page by clicking on "Packaged Inventory" on the navigation bar.
- Choose the type of inventory you will be adding.
- Click on the "+" sign at the top of the page.
- This will bring up a new section which will allow you to add your inventory.
- Select the product that you are adding. If you don't see the product listed you will need to go and set up your product in the "Products" area. Once you've got your products setup you're ready to add packaged inventory.
- Select the date that the packaging occurred and the amount packaged.
- Optionally enter the lot code for that packaged inventory. If you do not, one will automatically be assigned.
- Click "Save" to add your inventory.
In this main inventory view, all of your packaged inventory is aggregated, so if you'd like to see more detail about each individual item simply click on the "eye" icon for that item to see the detail for that item.
