Stocks

Stocks is not a screen of its own — find stock through Warehouse, 3PL, and the stock reports.

On this page 2

Stocks is not a screen of its own in OCTO Ops. It doesn't appear in the main navigation, and there is no dedicated Stocks list or form — it exists behind the scenes as a grouping used for reports and settings.

To see stock, use:

  • Warehouse, for stock held in your own warehouses.
  • 3PL, for stock you hold on behalf of a customer.
  • The stock reports under Reports › Stocks. See Stock reports, and Reports for how reports are organized.

Access

The Stocks reports read your warehouse stock, so they need the Warehouse module and the Warehouse › Stocks › View permission (all records or own records give the same reports). Owners and Admins have it. If your organization uses permission groups and yours does not grant it, Reports › Stocks still appears in the menu but opening any of its pages shows a "forbidden" error; ask an Admin to grant Warehouse › Stocks › View. If your organization does not have the Warehouse module turned on, nobody can open them, Owners included; ask your account manager to enable Warehouse.

Current limitations

  • There is no Stocks entry in the left navigation, and no dedicated Stocks screen — everything under this heading is reached through Warehouse, 3PL, or a report.
