Getting started with inventory
Catalogue, warehouses and an opening stock figure — the three things you need before invoicing or sales orders can subtract stock.
Products vs services — what Vendly tracks differently
Products live in inventory and consume stock. Services don't. Picking the right one matters for VAT and reporting.
Warehouses, bins and per-location stock
Where you keep things. Every stock movement is per warehouse — and optionally per bin within a warehouse.
Goods Received Note (GRN) — recording supplier deliveries
The GRN is what moves stock from 'expected' to 'on hand'. It also drives Accounts Payable and the inventory journal.
Stock takes — counting and adjusting on-hand
Physical counts reconcile what the system says to what's actually on the shelf. Run one when you go live, then quarterly or annually.
Reorder rules and stock forecasting
Set a min level per product and Vendly tells you when to reorder. Let the forecast tell you HOW MUCH.
