How do I reset my stock?

Written by Andrei

If there is a stock that has a different script quantity than the actual one, it can be reset.

  1. Open the Management application in the Stocks menu.

  2. Find and select the stock you want to reset.

  3. Select "Reset Stock" from the top right

  4. Select the date, the reason for resetting, but also the new amount of stock

Save the changes and the stock quantity will be updated. For a check we can access the Management - History menu where we will have the reset registered, exactly on the selected date.

Direct reset or reset through inventory?

The steps above describe a direct reset on a stock item — suitable when you need to correct one or two items and don't want to create an inventory document.

If you have counted everything and want to create a document, use an inventory instead (Inventory → Stocktake). Keep in mind that these are two separate steps: saving the inventory only records the count and the differences, without changing the stock; the correction is made only after you open the saved inventory, select the stock items, and click “Reset Stock”. See the article “How do I perform an inventory?”

One more difference if you use inventory: after you click “Reset Stock” on certain inventory rows, the book quantity for those rows remains fixed — it is the value from which the stock was reset — and is no longer updated when you reopen the document. To recalculate it, you must first cancel the reset on the respective rows (“Cancel Stock Reset”), because only cancelling the reset also reverses the movement recorded in History. The direct stock reset for merchandise described above does not have this restriction: you can reset the same merchandise item again at any time, with each reset being a new movement in History.
