Manage Inventory with Point of Sale

Use the Inventory Movement feature to access a product's current availability and adjust inventory buckets.

Point of Sale's Inventory Movement feature is designed to facilitate Inventory Management tasks on the POS app. This feature provides merchants with access to a product's current availability, allowing them to adjust inventory buckets and designate them as "Not for Sale." Specifically, they can adjust the product's "Floor Demo," "Not for Sale" for Item Adjustments, and "Return" for Return to Vendor (RTV) transfers. These adjustments are exclusively applied at the store level, verifying their relevance to the app's current store.

After the product is found, the product's information is shown. This information includes the current amount of product on hand and the expected amount of product available after the change.

Adjusting these buckets recalculates the product's available bucket. After confirming, it can take a few minutes for the product inventory to update.
