## 1\. Create a stock location

-   Open the **StoreConnect App** in Salesforce.

-   Go to **StoreConnect Navigation > Configuration > Stores**, then select your store.

-   Under the **Key Relationships** section, click **Stock Locations**.

-   Click **New** to create a stock location:

    -   Give it a **Name** (e.g., *Warehouse*).

    -   Mark it as **Active**.

    -   Enter the **Physical Address** (used for calculating shipping if enabled).

    -   Choose its **Fulfillment Option**:

        -   *Shipping only*, *Click & Collect only*, *Both*, or *Not used*.

    -   Optional Settings:

        -   Automatically create stock levels for all new products.

        -   Allow backorders if no stock is available.

        -   Hide products in search (if needed).

    -   Set **Priority** (e.g., 1 = default location if multiple exist).

-   Click **Save**.


## 2\. Enable stock tracking

-   Navigate to **Products** and select the product you want to track (e.g., *Steve’s Mystery Box*).

-   Click **Edit**.

-   Scroll to the **Stock Information** section and check **Track Inventory**.

-   Optional settings:

    -   Track serial numbers (for POS).

    -   Require a deposit instead of full payment at checkout.

-   Click **Save**.


## 3\. Enter or adjust stock levels

-   After enabling inventory tracking, StoreConnect will automatically create a **Stock Level Record** for the product.

-   Open the **Stock Level Record** and click **Edit**.

-   To set the **initial stock quantity**:

    -   Use the **Set Quantity** field (e.g., enter `35`).

    -   Click **Save**.


This populates two key fields:

-   **Count on Hand** – The physical stock at the location.

-   **Available to Sell** – The number currently available for online purchase.


---

## Adjust stock over time

-   To **add or subtract stock**, always use the **Change Quantity** field:

    -   To add stock: enter a **positive number** (e.g., `+5`).

    -   To remove stock: enter a **negative number** (e.g., `-5`).

    -   Click **Save**.


*Never directly edit “Count on Hand” or “Available to Sell” — doing so bypasses adjustment records and will be overwritten later.*

## Inventory audits & re-counts

-   When doing a full stock **inventory recount**:

    -   Use the **New Inventory Count** field to enter the correct number.

    -   Set the **Inventory Date**.

    -   Click **Save**.


This creates a proper **inventory adjustment record**, ensuring accurate tracking.

## View stock adjustment history

-   In the **Stock Level Record**, go to the **Related tab**.

-   You'll see a complete **history of all adjustments**:

    -   Initial setup

    -   Quantity increases/decreases

    -   Inventory recounts


This provides full **audit trails** for stock management.

## Confirm product availability

-   Return to the **Product page**.

-   Once stock has been added, the product will now be **purchasable** in your store.

-   Customers can see it, add it to cart, and complete checkout.
