Items, pars and case barcodes
Adding and editing items, par levels, suppliers, cost and case barcodes.
Add an item with + Add item on the Stock tab, or by scanning in Add Item mode. Scanning an item you already have in Add Item mode opens it for editing.
| Name, category, area | Area is where it’s kept (Kitchen, Bar, Walk-in…). Used for filtering and labels. |
|---|---|
| Unit | each, case, lb, bottle and so on. |
| Par (order up to) | How many you want after a delivery. The order list orders enough to get back here. |
| Reorder at | Optional. When on hand (plus anything already on order) drops to this, the item goes on the order list. Leave it empty to order as soon as you’re below par. |
| Lead time (days) | Optional. Days from ordering to delivery — used for suggested pars. |
| Supplier and SKU | Who you order from and their product code — the order list groups by supplier. |
| Cost | Cost per unit — reports use it to show the value of usage and waste. |
| Case barcode and case qty | The barcode on the outer case and how many units are in it. Scanning the case counts the whole case. |
No barcode on the product? Leave the barcode empty and getstoqd makes one — then print a label for it.
Suggested pars: once you’ve been scanning for a few weeks, editing an item shows how much it uses a day and a suggested Reorder at and Par (enough to cover the lead time plus safety days, then a week of use). Use these fills them in. To review every item at once, useSuggested pars on the Order list tab. Set the safety days in Settings.
The Stock tab lists every item; filter to Below par or Negative stock to find what needs attention.
