# Inventory

> Track your products' on-hand stock from the backoffice: quantities on hand, low-stock alerts, per-product movement history, and the sold-out (86) history.

The backoffice **Inventory** page gathers, for a location, the **stock** state of your tracked products: how much is left, which are low or out, and every product's movement history. It also keeps the **sold-out (86) history**.

<Note>
  Inventory is a **retail mode** feature. This is a **read-only** page: receiving, adjustments and counts happen at the register — see [Manage stock at the register](/en/pos/stock). Configuration (track a product, low-stock threshold) lives in the [catalog](/en/backoffice/menu) and [settings](#overselling-negative-stock).
</Note>

## Open the page

In the backoffice, open **Inventory** from the location menu. Two views are available from the selector at the top right: **Stock** (on-hand stock) and **Sold-out (86)** (the sold-out history).

## Stock view — on-hand stock

The **Stock** view lists every product that has stock tracking turned on.

At the top, three counters summarize the location:

* **Tracked** — the number of stock-tracked products.
* **Low** — the number of products at or below their low-stock threshold.
* **Out** — the number of products at zero (or below).

The **Low & out only** switch filters the table to show only low or out products.

Each table row shows:

* **Item** — the product name.
* **SKU** — the internal code, if any.
* **On hand** — the quantity in stock (red at zero or below).
* **Status** — **In stock**, **Low**, or **Out**.

<Note>
  By default, a product that drops to zero can no longer be ordered at the register — as if it were marked sold out — until stock is received. You can allow **overselling** (see [Overselling setting](#overselling-negative-stock)): the product then stays orderable with an "Out" badge.
</Note>

### Stock card — movement history

Tap a row to open the **stock card** on the side. It shows on-hand, status, then the list of **movements** newest first: receipts, adjustments, counts, sales and refunds. Each movement shows the reason, the date, who made it, and the change (+ or −).

## Configure tracking for a product

Stock is tracked per product. In the [catalog](/en/backoffice/menu), open a product and, in the **Stock tracking** section:

* Turn on **Track stock** to follow this product's on-hand quantity.
* Set a **Low-stock threshold** in units: the product shows **Low** at or below it. Leave empty for no alert.

As with any catalog change, **publish** the product for the register to pick it up.

## Overselling (negative stock)

In **Settings → Inventory**, the **Allow overselling (negative stock)** option controls what happens when a tracked product hits **zero**:

* **Off** (default) — an out-of-stock product **can't be added** at the register: it's unorderable, like a sold-out item, until the next receipt. A manual removal stops at zero.
* **On** — staff can **keep selling past zero**: the product shows an **"Out"** badge but stays orderable, and manual removals may go negative. Useful when counts are advisory or stock arrives late.

Publish the setting to apply it at the register.

## Sold-out (86) history

The **Sold-out (86)** view keeps the history of items marked sold out at the register. Each row is an availability change, newest first:

* **When** — the date and time of the change.
* **Item / option** — the name of the affected item or option, with an **Item** or **Option** tag.
* **Change** — **Sold out** (marked unavailable) or **Available** (put back on sale).
* **By** — the team member who made the change.

The period selector (**Today**, **7 days**, **30 days**, **All**) filters the history.

## Good to know

* The **By** column (and a movement's author) shows a name only if the operator was **signed in** (PIN) at the time of the action.
* Product names come from the most recent **published menu**. If a product has since been removed, its identifier is shown instead.
* This page is **read-only** — it's a log. Stock is managed from the register — see [Manage stock at the register](/en/pos/stock) and [Unavailable items (86)](/en/pos/sold-out).
