Bulk Stock Maintenance

Bulk Stock Maintenance is a feature that allows you to manage and update large volumes of stock data efficiently in one operation, rather than having to update items individually. This feature is particularly useful for businesses that handle extensive inventories.

Why Is Bulk Stock Maintenance Useful?

  1. Time-Saving:
    Instead of editing each item one at a time, users can update multiple items at once, significantly reducing the time spent on routine stock adjustments.
  2. Consistency:
    Ensures uniform updates across a group of items, such as applying the same price changes, discounts, or stock levels, reducing errors caused by manual entry.
  3. Efficiency During Seasonal Changes:
    Helps in quickly updating stock for seasonal sales, promotions, or inventory reclassification.
  4. Error Reduction:
    Automated bulk updates minimise manual errors compared to individual item maintenance.
  5. Improved Decision-Making:
    Bulk updates help maintain accurate stock data, which supports better reporting and inventory management decisions.

Bulk Stock Maintenance is a POS premium feature only and is found under the Maintenance Menu.
