Separate the customer promise, the reserved stock and the physical delivery.

The operational problem

A stock figure only helps when the team knows what to do next.

A sales order may need to reserve demand before the warehouse knows the exact source. If commitment, allocation and delivery are collapsed into one balance change, the team can promise the same stock twice or remove it twice.

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.

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.

• Confirm the order and its commitment
• Allocate from free usable stock when required
• Deliver all or part of the order
• Use customer returns for real inbound stock

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 CRM or ecommerce-channel sync
• No tax or statutory billing
• A delivery-derived invoice has no second stock effect
