# Locations, batches and stock history

Receive and move batch stock with a clear original movement history.

## Open company stock

Select the company in [Boni One](https://panel.boni.one/panel/commerce/inventory) and open **Inventory**. Choose its company books when more than one legal entity is available. Inventory uses the tracked products and exact variants from [Catalog](/catalog/overview); it needs no POS register or device.

## Receive a batch

Create the stock location, then choose **Receive stock**. Select the product and location, enter the batch and quantity in the item’s base unit, and give the movement a reason. Add manufacture or expiry times when needed. The form labels the time zone used for entry; stored records keep their original time instant.

Review and save once. If the response is interrupted, keep the browser data and use **Check saved stock** to reconcile that original save before entering another movement.

## Move and manage quantities

Use **Issue** or **Transfer** on the relevant batch. Transfer chooses a destination location and moves the recorded quantity; each location keeps its own balance.

Under **More actions**, place stock in quality hold, release inspected held stock, record damage or dispose of quarantined stock. Use the action matching what happened physically, with a quantity and reason. Stock held for quality, damage, transit or register allocation is distinct from available stock.

## Record a stock count

On the batch, open **More actions → Count stock**. Enter the on-hand quantity you actually counted, or choose **Matches recorded quantity** when it agrees. Add a note if useful, then choose **Save count**. Boni calculates the difference against that recorded batch; an unchanged count is recorded too.

Count on-hand goods only. Reserved stock, transit, quality hold and damage remain separate. If stock changed while you counted, check the original saved count before making a correction. Use its displayed cancellation workflow for an unposted request, refresh stock and enter the new observation.

In **History**, the **Last recorded count** section shows the reported quantity, earlier balance, difference, time and reference. Later movements can change the current balance. Keep physical count evidence with your operating records; recorded observations and movement arithmetic are separate from independent verification or financial valuation.

## Inspect batch history

Open **History** on the batch. Review the quantities, reconciliation and dated movements, load earlier movements when needed, and open a movement’s source details. History compares recorded bucket balances with the original movement ledger. A balanced result confirms recorded quantity arithmetic; investigate a result needing review before treating the figures as settled.

## Connect the counter and the books

[POS stock setup](/pos/catalog-and-stock) assigns part of the available batch stock to a register device. Its accepted sales and returns remain linked to original stock records. Before handling a POS return manually, check its linked return receipt so the same physical stock is not received twice.

Accounting owns invoices, taxes, financial journals and inventory valuation. Receiving or reconciling a quantity in this workspace is a stock operation; follow the company’s Accounting workflow for the financial treatment.
