Stock for each salon
Inventory in the main menu (also the salon's Inventory tab) lists the products for the salon you are working in. It requires the salon's Honey Badger to be connected. See Managing your salon.
Select a product to see its stock health. Each product has:
- Stock count: How many are on hand.
- Reorder count: The level at or below which you should reorder. The stock bar marks this level.
- Par count: The level you aim to keep on the shelf.
- Max capacity: The most you can store.
The product's cost and selling price are shown at the top of the page, next to its type and vendor.
Administrators, Managers, Leaders and Guest Services can view inventory.
Editing stock
Open a product's Inventory settings to update the stock count and the reorder, par and capacity levels.
Stock and sales
When a product is sold at the point of sale, the stock is checked against the count on hand. If a customer wants more than the salon has, SunMule warns you before taking payment.
SunMule does not place purchase orders for you, send low-stock alerts or manage transfers between salons. Check the stock bar for products that are at or near their reorder count.
