In this article, you will learn how to create and manage items in your inventory.

Workiz’s inventory management lets you see your stock levels and inventory usage from anywhere using any device. Every usage, stock change, or return is logged and easily tracked.

In order to track changes made to your inventory, you’ll first need to create an inventory item.

Creating an inventory item

From the Inventory tab, select Add new
Complete the Create New Item fields:
1. Product name: Enter a name for the inventory item you are creating
2. Price: Enter the price you will charge customers for the inventory item you are creating
3. Cost: Enter the price you pay for the inventory item you are creating

  You can also filter by Low Stock levels on the Inventory page.
8. Taxable: Decide whether this inventory item is taxable and turn the toggle switch ON or OFF as desired
9. Description: Enter a brief description to help identify this inventory item

Removing an inventory item

From the navigation bar, select Settings > Settings
Under Job Settings, select Items & products
Select the item you want to remove
Turn the toggle switch for Enable item OFF (gray) and select Save

The item will now appear in the Disabled section of your Items & products page, and will not be visible when adding inventory items to estimates, invoices, and jobs.

Managing inventory stock

Adding inventory stock to a location

From the Inventory page, whenever your stock goes below the restocking number you entered when creating the item, items listed in your inventory will feature a LOW STOCK tag as a reminder to restock this item.

You can also filter by Low Stock levels on the Inventory page to only display items that need to be restocked.

Once you have identified which items have low stock levels, you can restock and update your Workiz inventory accordingly.

From the Inventory page, next to the inventory item stock you want to update, select the stock icon
