POS inventory management
Know what changed, where it moved, and what needs action.
Read on-hand and fractional stock, preserve the reason behind an adjustment, compare reorder pressure, and follow inventory from a source location through partial receiving and completion.Read stock, preserve adjustment context, review reorder pressure, and follow every location movement.
Live inventory · real product screen
See the right location, the live quantity, and what needs attention.
The populated inventory surface makes current stock and reorder context visible before the page explains the decision or movement around it.
Swipe the product frame horizontally to inspect details, or open the full-resolution screen.
- 01
Choose a location in the seeded Inventory screen.
- 02
Inspect on-hand quantity beside the reorder point.
- 03
Open one adjustment and review its reason and audit context.
- 04
Open a transfer and identify its source and destination.
- 05
Compare sent quantity with received state before completion.
- 06
Follow the product into purchasing context for the next operator decision.
Stock pressure · accountability
Separate the replenishment decision from the movement record.
One rail shows what deserves review. The other preserves who changed stock and how a transfer reached its destination.
STOCK PRESSURE
Operator decision
- 01Count
Read on-hand stock, including fractional quantity where the item is configured for it.
- 02Compare
Put the current quantity beside that product's reorder point.
- 03Review
Use sales velocity and urgency to inspect the reorder suggestion.
- 04Decide
An operator chooses whether purchasing or another stock action should follow.
ACCOUNTABILITY
Recorded movement
- 01Adjust
Record the quantity change with adjustment reason, notes, actor, and audit context.
- 02Send
Deduct the approved transfer from the source and move its record to Sent.
- 03Receive
Record the actual received quantity, including a partial receiving event.
- 04Complete
Close the transfer only after every line is fully received.
On-hand · adjustment audit
Change the quantity without losing why it changed.
Authorized inventory work can set an absolute on-hand level or apply a delta. Each recorded change can retain its adjustment reason, notes, actor, product, location, quantity, mode, and audit action so the new number has accountable context.
That distinction matters during review: a corrected count, waste event, receiving correction, and other merchant-defined reasons should not collapse into an unexplained quantity edit.
Fractional stock
Preserve the decimal when the configured item is not a whole unit.
Fractional quantities support configured weight-tracked or recipe inventory. The inventory setter and delta path retain decimal on-hand values, allowing the operating record to represent a partial pound or component quantity without forcing it into a whole-number count.
Reorder point · sales velocity
Turn stock pressure into a reviewable operator decision.
Set a reorder point for the product, compare that threshold with current stock, and review a sales-velocity suggestion with operator-facing urgency. The suggestion surfaces the item and the basis for attention; the operator decides what action follows.
Use inventory and product reporting for broader valuation, turnover, and sales-velocity analysis, then move into purchasing only after the replenishment decision is made.
Atomic quick transfer
Move stock between configured locations as one accountable operation.
An authorized quick transfer checks a positive whole-unit quantity, deducts the source, and credits the destination in one atomic inventory operation. An insufficient source quantity refuses the movement instead of leaving only one side recorded.
The quick path handles the immediate move. The full transfer record carries staged sending and receiving when the operation needs explicit shipment state.

Open → Sent → Receiving → Complete
Receive what arrived and close only what is complete.
A full transfer begins Open while authorized staff define source, destination, and lines. Sending checks source stock and moves the record to Sent; the destination starts Receiving, then records each actual received quantity.
Partial receiving remains visible. The transfer reaches Complete only when every line's received quantity matches what was sent. The downstream purchase-order view keeps replenishment available as a deliberate supplier workflow rather than an automatic consequence of a suggestion.

Operator decision boundary
Visibility and suggestions inform the next action; they do not take it.
Reorder suggestions do not create purchase orders. Low-stock visibility is an operator-facing product record, not runtime notification delivery. Confirm locations, permissions, item configuration, counts, suppliers, and receiving practice during rollout before relying on the inventory record in daily work.
Inspect the movement before rollout
Use one product and two locations to test inventory accountability.
Software is $100/month for the first station and $50/month for each additional station. A standard station is $499.99 to purchase or $39.99/month to lease. Cancel anytime with no long-term software contract. Leased equipment must be returned after cancellation or billed at the full purchase price. Payment terminals, processing, integrations, and separately scoped rollout work are separate. After rollout, tenant sign-in uses {company-prefix}.liftedpos.com/login.
Inventory management FAQ
Separate quantity, pressure, movement, and purchasing.
How does LiftedPOS record an inventory adjustment?
An authorized operator can set an absolute on-hand level or apply a delta. The inventory audit context can retain the adjustment reason, notes, actor, product, location, quantity, and recorded action.
Can LiftedPOS keep fractional inventory quantities?
Yes. Fractional quantities are supported for configured weight-tracked or recipe inventory, so an adjustment can preserve a decimal quantity rather than rounding every item to a whole unit.
How do reorder points and reorder suggestions work?
A product can carry a reorder point. LiftedPOS can compare stock with that threshold and use sales velocity to present an operator-facing reorder suggestion and urgency for review.
Does a reorder suggestion place an order?
No. The suggestion is decision support for an operator. Purchasing remains a separate deliberate workflow where authorized staff review the supplier and purchase-order context.
What is the quick-transfer path?
An authorized quick transfer atomically deducts a positive whole-unit quantity from one configured location and credits another. An insufficient source quantity prevents the movement instead of leaving a one-sided transfer.
How does a full location transfer reach Complete?
A transfer moves through Open, Sent, Receiving, and Complete. Receiving records actual quantities and can be partial; Complete is available only when every transfer line is fully received.
