Inventory

Inventory in Cpos is everything you sell or buy: goods, services or labour. Each item has a card with its price, cost, balance and vendor.

Item types

Type	When to use it	Has a balance?
Stock item	Normal goods you buy and sell (groceries, phones...)	Yes
Master item → sub-item	An item with sizes or colours; each size/colour becomes a sub-item	Yes
Assembly	An item made of several other items (a gift basket, a device with accessories)	Yes
Non-stock item	Consumables you don't track (bags, packing material)	No
Service / Labour	Repair, installation, delivery charges	No

Default accounts per type

Each item type is linked to three accounts — Sales, Inventory and Cost of sales — plus a default cost method. Set them once in Settings → Inventory module; every new item takes them automatically.

💡 Set the default accounts and cost method before entering items, so you don't have to fix each item later.

Adjust stock quantity: correct the balance after a stock count (increase or decrease).
