# Track and Manage Inventory Across Branches

> Monitor live stock across branches, adjust counts, transfer items between locations, and set low-stock alerts in Zentrix Cloud Products.

Inventory in Zentrix Cloud updates automatically when you sell through the point of sale, receive a purchase order, or process a refund. You can also adjust stock manually and move items between branches to keep every location supplied.

## How live stock works

Every branch maintains its own stock levels. When a customer buys an item at the point of sale, that branch's stock decreases immediately. A purchase order receipt increases stock at the receiving branch. Consolidated reports in Analytics roll up totals across all locations.

## Adjust stock counts

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the product">
    In the Products module, find the item you need to adjust and open its inventory details.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select the branch">
    Choose the branch whose stock you are updating.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter the adjustment">
    Add or remove units and provide a reason, such as "damaged goods" or "stocktake correction."
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Save the adjustment. The stock count updates immediately and the change is recorded in the history.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Transfer stock between branches

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start a transfer">
    In the Inventory section, select the option to transfer stock and choose the source branch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add items">
    Select the products and quantities you want to move.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the destination">
    Pick the receiving branch and confirm the transfer.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive at destination">
    At the receiving branch, open the pending transfer and confirm receipt. Stock updates at both locations once confirmed.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Start the transfer from the branch that currently holds the stock. The receiving branch must confirm receipt before counts update.
</Tip>

## Set low-stock alerts

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open a product">
    Go to the product and open its inventory settings.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the threshold">
    Enter the minimum quantity you want to keep on hand. You can set a different threshold per branch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable alerts">
    Turn on low-stock notifications. The system will warn you when the count drops below the threshold.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Exact labels for transfer actions, adjustment reasons, and alert settings may vary. Refer to the in-app UI for the current wording.
