Uptick stock is currently very simple, we want to see our customers getting excited about Uptick stock to encourage us to continue building on it. All feedback is welcome, simply send to [email protected].
This requires the Warehouses extension to be enabled and appropriate permissions to be configured. Please contact our support team to get started.

Click Submit to complete the stock take. This will return you to the main page of that Warehouse where the updated stock levels will be displayed.
Transferring stock
Note: Uptick stock allows stock levels to go into a negative number. We have permitted flexibility here as we believe this will start a conversation between the office and technicians as to why stock hasn't been allocated correctly. We are open to any feedback regarding this configuration.
From the Warehouses page, View the Facility/Van from which stock will be sourced and then click Transfer Stock
In the To Warehouse field, select the Facility/Van where the stock will be transferred

Purchasing stock
Ordering stock for your Warehouses can be initiated by going to:
Billing > Purchase Orders > Create Warehouse Purchase Order
It is required for you to set a warehouse when creating a purchase order. This warehouse will prefill each delivery docket you create however, this can be overridden per docket.
Upon receipting the delivery docket, that warehouse's stock levels will go up for the materials received.
From there you can follow our Purchase Orders guide to learn how to complete the process.
Consuming stock
Whenever stock is used by a technician on a task, stock levels will automatically decrease for that technician's assigned warehouse.
In more technical terms, if a servicetask with a material product is performed, that technician's warehouse will reduce in stock. In the example above, Vanessa's 2.0kg ABE Extinguisher stock will be reduced by 1 in Vanessa's assigned warehouse.
If you unperform a servicetask, that technician's warehouse will gain back that stock.
Note: Stock will not be consumed if that technician doesn't have a warehouse assigned.
Note: It's currently possible on the web to perform a servicetask without a technician, stock will also not be consumed in this situation. We will be working on locking down the editing of servicetasks once they are performed, as well as the inability to perform a servicetask without a technician.
