Automatic sync #
In automatic mode, when you change the ‘Current Stock’, the system will allocate batches based on priority settings, to adjust the batch stock level accordingly. You can also see available batches there:
Manual sync #
In the manual mode, you have to choose batches to update manually:
It is only possible to update the batch stock level when an item’s current stock value is being changed.
If the current stock value is changed but a batch is not chosen for update, the following warning will appear before saving:
“Stock updated, but no batches selected. Save changes?”
Troubleshooting #
- It is important to keep in mind what the Batch priority setting is set to. See Define batch stock reduction priority. When you select several batches, the batch priority setting is used to allocate them.
- If you are reducing stock levels, ensure that you select enough batches with sufficient quantity to reduce.
