Stock Tracking

How inventory stock levels are calculated, and how budget is tracked against them.

Quick Summary
  • Stock formula: Current Stock = Total Delivered − Total Consumed ± Manual Adjustments
  • Over budget is shown on the material's detail page when total delivery cost passes the budgeted amount (rate × planned quantity)
  • Out of Stock is shown on the material's detail page once current stock reaches zero
  • Consumed progress bar = usage ÷ planned quantity (percentage, not remaining stock)
  • Stock updates immediately when a delivery is logged, usage is logged, or an adjustment is made

The Stock Formula

Understanding the Consumed Progress Bar

The Consumed column shows a progress bar with a percentage. This represents:

Consumed % = Total Consumed ÷ Planned Quantity × 100

This tells you how far you are through your planned material usage for the project — not how much stock remains.

If planned quantity is not set, the Consumed column shows the raw quantity consumed instead of a percentage.

Stock History

Every change to stock is recorded with a full audit trail:

  • Deliveries: Who logged it, when, how much
  • Usage logs: Who logged, when, quantity consumed, remarks
  • Adjustments: Who adjusted, direction (add/remove), quantity, reason

These records are visible in the material's detail page under the respective tabs.
