This article explains the steps to set up the Stock Module before the first use. 

If you have access to the Stock Module, then by clicking the menu item "Stock," you will be taken to the Stock Overview page, which shows all the stock items currently configured in your shop. 

Note: If you do not see the main menu "Stock," please contact your AkzoNobel Technical Representative to check how you can gain access.

Steps to correctly set up your stock:

1. Configure your stock on the "Stock configuration" page:
   
    
   • Indicate the minimum volume when an item needs to be ordered in Notify when min quantity.
   • Set the maximum number of closed cans you want in your stock in Desired max closed cans. Read here for more information.
   • Indicate the mixing or dosing lids you use in Mixing & Dosing lids. Read here for more information.
   • Set the percentage of residue in Residue % per can.
     
     Bulk edit can be used to apply this to multiple items at the same time:
     
2. Enter your initial stock:
   • On the Stock control page, perform a stock control of the closed cans.
     
     
     Here you can enter the number of cans for each item in the column New closed cans one by one, or you can use the BULK EDIT button to do this for multiple items at the same time.
     
     
     
   • In Stock control of open cans, you can open the cans that are in use.
     
     In the screen below, you can select the items you want to open. After this, click on Open a can for selected items.
     

Now, when you go to the Stock Overview page, you will see the status of your entire stock: the total volume of your current stock, the in-storage volume (the volume of closed cans), the in-use volume (the volume in open cans), and which items are low on stock (you will see a red can icon).
