# Stock control for filters, membranes, chemicals and parts

Running out of a cartridge on the way to a job costs a trip. Stock in AquaOps is a record of every movement, so you can see what is on hand in each store and on each van and what needs ordering.

The problem

## Nobody knows what is on the van

Stock is counted rarely and trusted less. Parts used on a job are forgotten on the invoice. A reorder happens after the shelf is empty.

### Items, places and vans

Keep items with units, prices and reorder levels, in stores and on technicians' vans.

### Stock from movements

On hand is the sum of receipts, issues and corrections. A mistake is reversed, never overwritten.

### Low-stock alerts

The people who manage stock are told once when an item drops below its reorder level.

### Parts on the job

A technician records the parts used. They come off stock and can be billed on the invoice.

### Suppliers

Keep suppliers and preferred suppliers per item. Contact details are hidden from roles that should not see them.

### Costs only for those who need them

Prices, costs and stock value are visible only to roles you allow.

Questions

## About inventory and parts

**### Can stock go negative?**

Not by default. A company can allow it in its settings.

**### Are parts used on the invoice?**

Yes. Parts recorded on a job can be added to its invoice as lines, at the price you set.

**### Can a technician see costs?**

Only if their role allows it. By default technicians see their own van and shared stores, not costs or suppliers.
