FreeWhat SellyPOS does
Know what is on your shelves, and when to reorder it
Stock control keeps the figure on your shelves honest. It shows what each product holds in each location and follows phones by their own codes. Every sale and change is recorded, so you can follow how the number got there.
This page is for the people who look after the shelves. That means the owner, the store keeper, or the cashier who receives the delivery. Every sale and every change to stock leaves its own trace, so the figure can always be followed back to where it came from.
Here you bring new stock in with its expiry dates and lot numbers. You follow each phone or unit by its own code, and correct a figure with the reason written down. A main product's leftover stock is shared out to its variants, and the till will not sell that product until this is done. You can count the shelves with a scanner or on paper, and keep selling while the count runs.
Stock control works with the sales counter, so the till tells you when stock runs short. The reports and the reorder list show what is running low and what to order from each supplier.

- Bring new stock in with its dates and numbers Add a whole box of serial numbers to stock in one go Paste or scan the numbers once, and the whole box goes into stock as one document, with the details kept for each unit.
- Keep track of expiry dates and write off what has passed See what is about to expire, and what has already expired One page lists the stock that is expiring or expired, by date or by batch. Write off an expired line and it goes into an adjustment for that batch.
- Count the shelves and apply the count Count the shelves, review only what differs, then apply it You review only the lines that differ, with the expected figure and the sales since the count began. You recount the doubtful lines, then apply the count once.
- Find a phone or a unit by its number Scan a device's IMEI and see how it moved through your shop Scan the IMEI or type the serial number and the device's page opens. It lists each time the device came in or went out, the newest first.
- Keep the figures right when stock is wrong or short When stock runs short, the till tells you how much is left The till says how much is available, and offers three ways on: lower the quantity, sell from another location, or ask for approval.

-
Keep the figures right when stock is wrong or short
When the figure is wrong, make an adjustment and give the reason. New counts you type into the bulk edit sheet are saved as adjustments too. The till tells you when a sale goes past the stock, and you choose the rule for the whole shop.
- Correct the stock figure, and write down why in one record
- Undo a wrong stock adjustment without changing the original
- See your past stock adjustments in one list, newest first
-
Share a main product's leftover stock out to its variants
A main product can hold stock that none of its variants has yet. Share it out to the variants, or adjust the rest out, and the till sells the product once that is done.
- See the stock still on your main product, and share it out to its variants
- The till will not sell a product until its stock is shared out
- Share a product's stock out by place, lot and device, and see what is left

Reorder before the shelves run empty
Set when each product should be reordered, then let the reorder list show what is low and how much to order.
- Set when to reorder each product, on the product itself
- Set minimum stock levels for many products in one panel
- See what is running low, and how much to order
-
Check the numbers in the reports
These reports show your stock as a list of figures. Open a row to see the movements behind it.
- See which products are running low, out, or below zero
- See how one product's stock went up and down, line by line
- See how much of each product you have, and what it is worth
Next, open the product you sell most often and set its expiry or reorder rules once. If it has variants, check whether it still holds stock to share out. After that, a count of the shelves shows what is really there.
