Managing inventory can be a hassle, but Dripos makes it easier. This guide shows you how to set up stocking units, automate stocking rules, and transfer inventory between locations through the Web Dashboard or POS.

​
Creating Your Stocking Units on the Web Dashboard

Adding a Stocking Unit to an item or ingredient allows you to track how it’s restocked. For example, while you may serve milk in ounces, you might restock milk cartons by the gallon.

Create a Stocking Unit

This will reveal the Create Unit modal:

Name: The name of the unit (e.g., gallons, cases).

Default Cost: The default cost shown when quick-stocking the item with this unit.

Conversion Factor: The quantity of the conversion unit that makes up this stocking unit. For example, if stocking a 10-pack of gallon milk, the conversion unit is gallons, and the conversion factor is 10.

Conversion Unit: The base unit to which the stocking unit converts (e.g., gallons).

Once ready, click Add to finalize your stocking unit.
