Inventory Management

Kraal's Inventory Workspace helps accounting firms and their clients track physical goods, manage stock levels, process purchase and sales orders, and maintain warehouse operations — all integrated with your accounting system.

Who Should Use This

Inventory Management is designed for firms managing clients with:

• Physical product businesses
• E-commerce operations (Shopify, Amazon)
• Manufacturing or assembly workflows
• Multi-warehouse distribution

Accessing the Inventory Workspace

Open the Inventory section from the sidebar navigation. The workspace includes:

Section	Purpose
Dashboard	Overview of stock levels, recent movements, and key metrics
Items	Browse, create, and manage product items
Stock Balance	Current stock levels across all warehouses
Stock Entries	Record stock adjustments, transfers, and receipts
Warehouses	Manage warehouse locations
Purchase Orders	Create and track purchase orders
Sales Orders	Create and track sales orders
Order Pipeline	Visualize order flow and fulfillment status
BOM	Define bill of materials for assembled products
Reports	Stock movement, variance, and valuation reports
Exceptions	Review stock anomalies and discrepancies

How It Works with ERPNext

Inventory data syncs with your ERPNext instance. Items, warehouses, stock levels, and orders flow between Kraal and ERPNext so your accounting records stay in sync with physical inventory.

Changes you make in the Inventory Workspace — such as creating items, submitting stock entries, or completing orders — are reflected in your linked ERPNext site. Likewise, updates made directly in ERPNext will appear in Kraal after the next sync cycle.

Quick Start

1. Confirm your warehouses — Go to Warehouses and verify your locations are set up.
2. Review your items — Open Items to browse your product catalog. Add any missing items.
3. Check stock levels — Use Stock Balance to see current quantities on hand.
4. Process orders — Create purchase or sales orders as needed.
