MODULE INTRODUCTION

ERPNext Inventory & Stock Module

A complete guide to ERPNext Inventory — covering warehouse management, stock movements, interwarehouse transfers, batch and serial number tracking, stock valuation, reorder management, and physical stock counting — in one system fully integrated with sales, purchasing, and accounting.

MODULE INTRODUCTION

ERPNext Inventory for Operations That Run Without Surprises

Automate every stock movement — from goods receipt to customer delivery. Eliminate manual errors, track every item in every warehouse, and prevent stockouts before they happen.

Hierarchical Warehouse Structure

Build a complete warehouse tree — from the parent company down to the finest storage location.

  • Define multiple warehouses per branch, site, or type (stores, showroom, returns)
  • Hierarchical structure: Company → Branch → Warehouse → Sub-location
  • Assign a warehouse manager and custom access controls per warehouse
  • View current stock balance per warehouse separately and in aggregate
WAREHOUSE & ITEM MANAGEMENT

Comprehensive Item Card

A single profile per item — with all logistics, accounting, and commercial data in one place.

  • Set unit of measure, weight, dimensions, and barcode
  • Link the item to accounting accounts and default warehouse
  • Enable batch tracking, serial number tracking, or expiry date management
  • Set reorder level, optimal order quantity, and preferred supplier

Item Groups & Stock Classification

Organise items into hierarchical groups for efficient policy management and reporting.

  • Create item groups with a flexible hierarchy
  • Assign default accounting accounts per group
  • Apply valuation and tax policies at the group level
  • Sales and purchase reports segmented by item group

STOCK MOVEMENTS

STOCK MOVEMENTS

Batch Tracking

Track every batch from receipt or production through to final sale — with a complete movement history.

  • Assign a batch number to every inbound receipt or manufactured lot
  • Track the batch through all movement stages: receipt, transfer, sale
  • Batch balance report: available quantities, quantities sold, expiry dates
  • Recall a specific batch when a quality issue is identified

Serial Number Tracking

Track each unit independently — ideal for electronics, equipment, and warranty items.

  • Track unit location: in warehouse / sold to customer / sent for maintenance
  • Link serial number to the sales invoice and warranty data
  • Search for any unit by serial number in seconds

Expiry Date Management

Never sell an expired product — ERPNext automatically blocks the sale when an item’s expiry date has passed.

  • Record the expiry date at the point of receipt for every batch
  • Report of items expiring within the next 30/60/90 days
  • Automatic alerts before expiry so action can be taken
  • Auto-block sale of expired items at the transaction level
BATCH, SERIAL & EXPIRY TRACKING

Stock Valuation Methods

Choose the valuation method that fits your business — FIFO or Moving Average — and ERPNext calculates the value automatically on every movement.

  • FIFO: values stock at the cost of the earliest-received lot (ideal for perishables)
  • Moving Average: recalculates automatically after every new receipt
  • Stock valuation report: total inventory value at any date
  • Valuation linked to accounting: value changes post an accounting entry automatically
VALUATION, REPORTS & PHYSICAL COUNT

Stock Analytics Reports

Real-time reports showing your complete inventory position — quantities, values, locations, and movements.

  • Current stock balance: quantities and values per item per warehouse
  • Item movement report: all receipts and issues for a specific item
  • Slow/Dead stock report: items with no movement in 30/60/90+ days
  • Reorder point report: items that have reached their warning level
  • Export all reports to Excel or PDF in one click
