# Inventory management

### Introduction

There are two parts to inventory management in Paragon. First, you will need to set up your warehouse location(s). Once this is done, you will be able to manage your inventory numbers by:

\- manually moving and adjusting the stock

\- receiving, picking, packing and shipping products

 

#### Setting up locations

In Paragon click on the **more** button  and then open the **[location](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-new-locations?hsLang=en)** module. In this module, you will enter all the warehouse locations that your system needs.

Refer to the [locations article](https://support.paragon-erp.com/creating-new-locations?hsLang=en) if you need help to add new locations. Once you have added all the locations that you require, remember to **activate** all new locations from the **action** button **:**

#### Use transactions to move and adjust stock

The following transactions affect your product's inventory: **receive**, **pick**, **pack** and **ship**. In order to work properly, these modules require warehouse locations to be set up. The key is to indicate the location type for each location as it will determine which module can pull or add stock to that location.

Once the locations have been set up, issuing or completing a transaction will update the inventory numbers accordingly.

#### Moving stock manually

[Moving inventory](https://support.paragon-erp.com/how-inventory-moves-across-locations?hsLang=en) is used to transfer stock from one location to another, within the same physical warehouse.

In Paragon click on the **more** button and open the **inventory** **module**.

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Inventory%20module-jpg.jpeg?width=527&height=536&name=Inventory%20module-jpg.jpeg)

Find the item you wish to move and click on the **list-detail view** button.

 

![](https://support.paragon-erp.com/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/edbsn75ed41c97091c6350ede93bb53e8f84f1b5211ccc3b9b562ed9b099eaa08a70de5803b4bb952a3ca6312a38c215b0ad1-1-1-1-3-1.png)

In the **move** tab:

1. Click on the desired location from which to move the inventory.
2. Select the warehouse location to which you want to move the inventory.
3. Enter the quantity to move.
4. Click **accept** to validate.

 The units will now appear in the new location and will be deducted from the original.

Note that each movement is listed with its date for tracking purposes.

#### Adjusting stock manually

In Paragon, you can update your inventory number using adjustments. This feature allows you to increase or decrease your stock in a specific location as needed.

For example, you forgot to count 3 units and wish to add them to your inventory. In the adjust tab, you will enter *3* to add 3 units to the current stock. On the other hand, if you've counted 3 extra units, you will enter *-3* to remove 3 units from the stock.

If you need to adjust your inventory to a specific number, you will have to enter the difference between this number and your current stock level. For example, Paragon shows 10 units but in reality you only have 8: you need to remove 2 units. Therefore you will have to enter *-2*.

In Paragon click the **more** button and open the **inventory** module . Find the item you wish to adjust and click on the **list-detail view** button .

In the **adjust** tab:

1. Click on the **create new** button on the bottom left-hand side of your screen.
2. Select the warehouse location for which you want to adjust the inventory.
3. Enter the adjustment quantity, select a reason if applicable, and click **accept** to validate your change.

The recalculated stock will now appear. Note that each adjustment is listed with its date for tracking purposes.

You can also adjust the stock of a product or a material directly in the product or material module.

   

To do that, go to the **product** or **material** module and select the **inventory** tab. This tab works the same way as described above.
