Add Products to a Warehouse

Learn how to add products to a warehouse's inventory in Vintaflow.

Overview

Before you can track stock or fulfil orders, products must be assigned to a warehouse. Doing so creates the inventory record that holds quantities, planning parameters, and the forecast.

Opening the Dialog

From the Warehouses List

Navigate to Warehouses
Find the warehouse
Click the Add Products icon on its row

From Warehouse Details

Open the warehouse
Click Add Products in the products section

Step 1: Select Products

Use Search for existing products to find products by name or UPC
Click to select - you can add several at once
Selected products appear below with their own configuration panel

Step 2: Configure Each Product

Identity and Stock

SKU - click the refresh icon to auto-generate one
Quantity - the opening stock figure

Planning Parameters

These drive reorder recommendations and inventory alerts:

Parameter	Meaning
Minimum Order Quantity	The smallest order that can be placed for this product
SSM	Safety Stock Multiplier - how much buffer to hold
TCP	Target Coverage Period, also called the review period
MCP	Maximum Coverage Period - above this, the product is flagged as overstock

Forecast Window

Forecast Start Date and Forecast End Date - the period the forecast should cover

Planning parameters can be changed later from the inventory record, so sensible starting values are enough to get going.

Variants

If the product is tracked by size, colour, or another attribute:

Tick Has Variants
Click Add Variant for each one
For each variant, enter the Name, Value, SKU, and Quantity

Step 3: Submit

Review the configuration for each product
Click Add

The products now appear in the warehouse's inventory.

Removing Products

Before saving - click Remove next to the product entry in the dialog
After saving - open the warehouse, find the product, and use the delete option if you have permission

Bulk Alternative

To set up many products at once, import them instead of adding them by hand. See Import Data.

Tips

Opening quantity should match your actual physical stock
Set MOQ accurately - reorder recommendations depend on it
Configure variants up front if you track stock at that level; adding them later means reworking the record
Once products are in, choose a forecasting model for each - see Inventory Forecasting
