Tracking Material Stock
1 min de leitura5 de abr. de 2026
Stock tracking is optional per material. Turn on Track Stock on the Stock & Supplier tab and CrafterBy records levels and movements for that material; leave it off and the material is costed but never counted.
The four levels
| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Current Stock | How much you hold right now. |
| Min Stock | The reorder point. At or below it, the material is flagged low. |
| Max Stock | An optional ceiling, to stop over-ordering. |
| Reorder Qty | The amount to buy when restocking. |
For Unit Conversion materials, stock is counted in the unit you buy in — spools, gallons, bottles — not the working unit. The form shows the working-unit equivalent beneath it so you can sanity-check.
Where stock actually changes
Stock is a consequence of things you do elsewhere; the Stock pages are a read-only view of the result.
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Receiving a material purchase order | Increases stock and updates weighted-average cost |
| Completing a production order | Consumes the materials it used |
| Shipping a sales order | Reduces finished product stock |
| A manual adjustment | Corrects the count, with a reason recorded |
