Review stock movements
The movement history answers "what happened to this stock, and who did it".
On a variant's page under Inventory → Variants.
Steps
- Open the variant.
- Go to its movements.
- Filter by reason or by person to narrow things down.
Most recent first.
Two rows for one action is normal
The thing to know before you start counting.
Movements come in pairs wherever stock leaves one place and arrives in another — a bin-to-bin move, a transfer between sites, or a pick with its paired leg into dispatch staging.
So a single action often shows twice. That is the record being complete, not stock being double counted. Reading one half alone is the mistake — a "move out" with no context looks like stock disappearing.
See stock movement types for which types pair.
Investigating a figure that looks wrong
Start from when it was last right. Scroll to that point and read forward; the change will be there, because every change is recorded.
Filter by reason to separate deliberate corrections from operational movement. A run of adjustments is a different story from a run of picks.
Filter by person when you need to ask someone what they were doing. The point is usually to understand rather than to attribute — the person who made an adjustment normally knows why.
Patterns worth noticing
Repeated damage at one location — something about that location or how stock is handled there.
Frequent corrections on one variant — the record and reality keep diverging, which usually means a process gap rather than carelessness.
Count losses concentrated somewhere — worth investigating before the next count rather than after.
Counts are distinguishable from adjustments
A stocktake records count gain or count loss, never an adjustment. So a discrepancy found by counting can always be told apart from one somebody keyed in — a distinction that matters when reading a pattern.
You cannot edit or remove a movement
The history is what happened. A mistake is corrected by adjusting the stock, which records a further movement.
That means the history only grows, and it can be relied on.
Wider history
The movement record covers stock. Changes to settings, members and permissions are in the audit log.
