Overview

Advanced inventory tracking techniques is a common workflow in TillTech. This guide covers the recommended setup path and the checks that help you avoid mistakes.

Before You Start

  • Inventory module enabled
  • Stock items created
  • Staff permissions for stock actions

Recommended Steps

  1. Confirm item units (each/kg/litre) and barcodes/SKUs are consistent.
  2. Receive or adjust initial stock so your starting counts are correct.
  3. Configure low stock thresholds for critical items.
  4. Run a small cycle count to validate the workflow.
  5. Review inventory valuation and discrepancies weekly.

Best Practices

  • Make one small change at a time and validate the result.
  • Test the full flow end-to-end before rolling out to staff.
  • Keep permissions tight: give access only to people who need it.
  • Use consistent naming for products, categories, and locations.

Troubleshooting

  • If a setting appears not to apply, confirm you are editing the correct location/workspace.
  • If reports don’t match expectations, verify time zone and tax settings first.
  • If devices aren’t syncing, check network connectivity and re-authenticate where applicable.
