# Stock per location

Keep a separate quantity for each warehouse or shop and decide where each item is stocked.

- Where: Products → Inventory

When you keep goods in more than one place, every product version has its own quantity at each location. This page shows how to see one location, change a quantity there, and start or stop stocking an item at a location.

![The page of an inventory item with its Locations, Reservations and Custom data blocks, and Details and Attributes on the right](https://docs.poltura.com/screenshots/en/inventory/stock-per-location.webp)

_The Locations block shows the stock at each location, with Manage locations and Edit._

## Before you start

- The version must have **Track quantity** switched on. See [Variants and options](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/variants-and-options/).
- The locations themselves are created in developer mode, under [Locations and shipping](https://docs.poltura.com/en/developer/locations-and-shipping/#locations). What each location ships and at which rate is set under [Delivery](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/delivery/).

## See and change the stock of one location

1. Open **Products** and choose **Inventory**.
2. Open the **All locations** menu and choose the location.
3. The list now shows one row per version with the **On hand**, **Committed**, **Unavailable** and **Available** quantities of that location only.
4. Type the new quantity in **On hand** and select **Save** in the **Unsaved changes** bar.

If a version was not stocked at that location yet, typing a quantity and saving starts stocking it there.

## Choose where an item is stocked

Each tracked version has an inventory item with its own page. The page lists the locations that stock the item.

1. On the **Inventory** page, select the row of the version. A side panel opens. This needs [quick view](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/profile/#quick-view) turned on. Without it, a click opens the product.
2. Select **View item**.
3. In the **Locations** block, select **Manage locations**.
4. Tick the locations that should stock the item, and clear the ones that should not.
5. Save. The **Locations** block now lists the locations you ticked, each with **Reserved**, **In stock** and **Available**.

> **Warning**
>
> Clearing a location removes the item's stock level there. A location that still holds or reserves stock cannot be removed: set its quantity to zero first.

## Change the quantity at one location from the item page

1. Open the inventory item with **View item**.
2. In the **Locations** block, select **Edit** on the row of the location.
3. On **Manage location quantity**, type the new **In stock** number and save.
4. The row shows the new quantity, and the totals at the top of the page change with it.

## Edit an inventory item

1. Open the inventory item with **View item**.
2. Select **Edit** in the header.
3. In **Edit item details**, change the **Title** or the **SKU**.
4. Select **Save**. The header and the **Details** block show the new values.

## Edit the attributes of an item

The **Attributes** block holds the measurements and customs data of the item. Courier and customs integrations read them.

1. Open the inventory item with **View item**.
2. Open the menu of the **Attributes** block and select **Edit**.
3. In **Edit Attributes**, fill in what you need: **Height**, **Width**, **Length**, **Weight**, **MID code**, **HS code**, **Country of origin** and **Material**.
4. Select **Save**. The block shows the new values.

## Edit the custom data of an item

**Custom data** is a list of key and value pairs for integrations.

1. Open the inventory item with **View item**.
2. Open the menu of the **Custom data** block and select **Edit**.
3. In **Edit custom data**, add, change or remove rows. A row with no key is ignored.
4. Select **Save**.

## Delete an inventory item

> **Warning**
>
> Deleting an inventory item cannot be undone. Its quantities at every location go with it, and the product version it belonged to is left without a stock record.

1. Open the inventory item with **View item**.
2. Select **Delete** in the header.
3. On **Delete inventory item**, tick **Yes, delete this inventory item**.
4. Select **Delete**. You land on the **Inventory** page, and the item is gone.

An item that still has reserved stock cannot be deleted. Fulfill or cancel the orders that reserve it first.

## Edit every version of a product at once

The product page has a stock grid with one row per version and one column per location. Open the product, open the menu of the versions section and choose **Edit stock**. Type a number in a cell to stock the version at that location. See [Variants and options](https://docs.poltura.com/en/products/variants-and-options/).

## Good to know

- Quantities are whole numbers.
- **In stock** cannot go below the quantity that is already reserved at that location.
- The summary at the top of the item page adds up all locations: **In stock**, **Reserved**, **Available** and the number of **Locations**.
- Orders reserve stock at a location when they are placed. In developer mode you can see and edit these on the [Reservations](https://docs.poltura.com/en/inventory/reservations/) page.
- With **All locations** selected on the **Inventory** page, a version is listed once per location and the row does not name the location. Choose a location to avoid mistakes.

## If something goes wrong

- **A location is missing from the menu.** It has not been created yet. See [Locations and shipping](https://docs.poltura.com/en/developer/locations-and-shipping/#locations).
- **A location cannot be cleared.** It still holds or reserves stock. Set the quantity to zero, and fulfill or cancel the orders that reserve it.
- **This item is not stocked at any location yet.** Select **Manage locations** and tick at least one location.
- **A shopper cannot buy an item you have in stock.** The stock may sit at a location that does not serve their delivery zone. Check [Delivery](https://docs.poltura.com/en/settings/delivery/).
