A real product workflow
See the facts behind the stock figure.
This example uses fields and states that exist in KnownStock. It is a clear HTML product view, not a fabricated customer screenshot.
The operational problem
A stock figure only helps when the team knows what to do next.
A fast import can create lasting ambiguity when duplicate codes, pack conversions or decimal formats are accepted without review. Onboarding should reduce manual entry while preserving catalogue integrity and a clear retry path.
What improves
Turn the problem into a dependable daily routine.
KnownStock keeps each quantity and document effect distinct, so a clear screen never hides an important difference.
Preview
Correct before applying
Row and field errors appear without storing partial catalogue data.
Apply
Create all valid rows together
A retry cannot duplicate items from the same completed import.
How the work flows
Prepare, review and confirm with a clear result.
Drafts give the team room to prepare and correct the work. When someone confirms it, KnownStock checks the operation and records the appropriate stock or planning change.
- Download and populate the exact template
- Upload and preview without catalogue changes
- Correct every invalid or duplicate row
- Create all valid items in one step
A practical adoption path
Start without a lengthy implementation.
Begin with one warehouse, one item and one real opening quantity. Add locations, pack sizes, documents and policies only when they solve a current need. Previewed CSV imports reduce setup risk, while authorised exports keep your records portable.
A focused product boundary
Keep neighbouring responsibilities in the right systems.
KnownStock handles day-to-day inventory operations. Accounting, statutory documents, payments and specialised logistics remain with the systems and people responsible for them.
- No update or delete of existing items
- No silent separator or decimal guessing after preview
- No stock balance import through the item catalogue file
Ready for a verifiable first movement
Start with one item, one warehouse and one quantity you can explain.
Create a workspace without a card, add your first item and warehouse, then follow the practical manual at your own pace.
