How stock moves through the business
Seven steps, start to finish. Pick a step to see what happens there and what you can read about it. Fifteen minutes end to end, and you will understand every number in the app.
Sync
Step 7 of 7Your storefronts get told the new number. Each change joins an outgoing queue and is sent in the background, one store at a time.
The stock level in this app is the original. The number on a storefront is a copy of it. Storefronts do not count anything — they display whatever was last pushed to them.
- Goes up
- Nothing. Sync copies numbers; it never creates them.
- Doesn’t move
- Your real stock. A failed push changes nothing here.
- Written down
- Every push attempt, including the ones that failed.
- Watch out
- When this app and a storefront disagree, this app is right and the copy is behind. Fix the sync, never the ledger.
