Use this article to read the cost layers in the Shop+ Stock dialog and take stock out with Remove / Deduct for breakage, samples or corrections. Every time you receive stock, Shop+ keeps that receipt as its own entry – a cost layer – with the quantity and cost you entered. Deductions reduce those layers.
What are the cost layers in the Stock dialog?
The cost layers are the lines in the entries table of the Stock dialog, one per receipt. After two deliveries (10 units at $4.00 and 5 units at $5.00) the Stock dialog shows In Stock 15 and two lines in the entries table, each with its own cost, profit and margin.
How do I deduct units from stock?
To deduct units in the Stock dialog, click Remove / Deduct, enter the Quantity to remove (in this example we removed 2) and click Deduct Stock.
Reopen the Stock dialog to see the result: In Stock drops to 13 and the count on one of the cost layers is reduced. The layers themselves stay in the entries table so the cost history is preserved.
Note: Sales rung up on the Stackably POS deduct stock automatically; use Remove / Deduct in the Stock dialog for anything that is not a sale.
