Units, stock policy and availability

Open Settings → Stock, Units and Availability. Keep measurement units consistent with recipes and purchasing.

Manage measurement units

Review unit names, dimensions and conversions before adding or editing a unit. Use compatible mass, volume or count units; a supplier pack size is not automatically a recipe quantity. Verify existing ingredient and recipe references before deletion.

Set stock and availability policy

Review when stock is reserved/consumed and how shortages affect public availability. Check the configured policy with a small development scenario before changing service behavior. Manual item visibility, timed availability and ingredient stock are separate restrictions and can combine. For an item tracked by a shared counter whose rule shows the remaining count, the cart accounts for available quantity even above the low-stock threshold. That threshold controls the warning, not the cart cap. See Availability to check the rule and manual overrides.

Read quantities in the correct stock pool

Predefined item stocks now have a journal under Items & menus → Stock history and on each product. A rotating carte can prepare initial allowances per series and publish them without restoring already committed units. Previous remaining counts are not carried forward. Order changes and pre-production releases use the original frozen pool; a produced item remains consumed. Ingredient/preparation quantities and recipe costs remain separate. See Availability for initial imports, corrections and history filters.
