Understand Current stock, Minimum, and Target

Overview

• Current stock shows the ledger-derived on-hand quantity for each actively tracked Store inventory item.
• Minimum stock is the threshold used to decide when an item is Low.
• Target stock is the level MiniTill uses when calculating how much ingredient stock should be replenished.
• An item is flagged Low when Current stock is below Minimum stock.
• Last count shows the most recent counted timestamp from a completed Stocktake.
• A Never counted item can still have a system quantity, but it has not yet been confirmed by a completed physical Stocktake.

When to use this

• Use Current stock for a quick Store-level inventory health check after Stocktake or other recorded inventory movements.

Step-by-step

1. Open Inventory → Current stock.
2. Review On hand, Minimum, Target, and Last count.
3. Investigate Low items.
4. For Ingredient shortages with configured purchasing data, continue to Restock list.
5. For Recipe/Product stock, use the appropriate preparation/operational replenishment process.

Common mistakes

• Do not assume Target is the amount to buy; it is the desired stock level, and Restock calculates the gap from Current stock.
• Do not assume an item is low when Current equals Minimum; the current Low rule is strictly below Minimum.
• Do not expect Current stock to automatically change menu availability.

Troubleshooting

• If an item never shows Low, confirm Minimum stock is configured.
• If Last count is missing, complete a Stocktake containing that item.
