What this page is for
Item stock is the detail behind one row of Stock on hand: one item variant (size, pack or flavour) at one store. It answers two questions: what batches make up the quantity on hand, and what has happened to it recently.
At the top, On hand is the current quantity, with Stock value and Unit value alongside it for people whose role can see cost.
Open batches lists every batch still holding stock, in the order the next sale takes from it: oldest received first. Tulindo always sells from the oldest batch before a newer one, which is why a batch received a month ago, but counted into the system only this morning, can still sell before stock delivered yesterday. Each batch shows when it was received, its batch number, its expiry date if it has one, and how much of it is left of what came in. People who can see cost also see each batch's unit cost.
Movements lists, newest first, every change to the quantity and the document that caused it: a goods receipt, a sale, a transfer, an adjustment, a stocktake, a conversion or a return. Each entry names its type and, where it carries one, the document's own reference.
This page is read-only. To change the quantity, raise a transfer, an adjustment, a conversion or a stocktake; the result shows up here afterwards.
Everyone whose role can view stock sees this page; stock value, unit value and batch cost need a role that can see cost.

How to open an item's stock
Open it from Stock on hand, or from a batch or movement reference elsewhere in Tulindo.
Worked examples
Restaurant and bar
The Acacia Grill & Bar opens Jameson Irish Whiskey — 1 litre bottle at the Bar store. Open batches shows two: a bottle received three weeks ago with 0.400 left, and a case received yesterday with 12.000 left. The next tot poured still comes from the older bottle, because it is listed first. Movements shows the tots sold each evening and the goods receipt that brought the case in.
Butchery that also roasts meat
Mama Njeri's Butchery opens Beef (steak cut) — Per kg and sees Movements listing a Count shortage entry from last Friday's stocktake, alongside the day's ordinary sales, so the manager can see exactly when the shortfall was posted.
