# Receive, count and adjust stock

> Add material when it arrives, count your piles, and fix the numbers when something changes.

Loads that go out come off by themselves. These three are for everything else: material coming in, counting your piles, and fixing the numbers.

## Receive stock

When a load comes in to your yard:

**1. Tap Inventory, then Receive stock**

**2. Pick the material and how much came in**

Enter it the way your ticket shows it, in **Yards** or **Tons**.

**3. Add the details (optional)**

**From** (who you bought it from), **Ticket #**, the cost, a **Photo of the ticket**, and a note.

**4. Tap Add to stock**

The button shows the amount, like **Add 17.5 yd to stock**. It's added to on hand right away.

**Buy by the ton but sell by the yard?** Choose **Tons**. The app converts it with the product's weight and shows the math, like *= 17.5 yd at 2,800 lb per yard*. If **Tons** isn't there, add a **Weight per cubic yard** to the product first.

**Receiving a purchase order?** Pick it under **For purchase order**. See [Vendors and purchase orders](https://bulk-order-hero.mintlify.site/inventory/purchase-orders.md).

## Count stock

Count your piles now and then so the app matches your yard.

**1. Tap Inventory, then Count stock**

**2. Pick the material**

The app shows how much it expects, from what came in and went out since your last count.

**3. Enter how much is in the yard right now**

You'll see the difference, like *4 yd less than the app expected (4.7%). Saved as shrink.*

**4. Pick how you measured, then tap Save count**

**Eyeballed**, **Bucket count**, **App or drone**, or **Scale**.

Your count replaces on hand. When there's less than expected, the difference is saved as **shrink**, so you can see how much goes missing over time.

## Adjust stock

For changes that aren't a load going out, a delivery coming in, or a count:

**1. Tap Inventory, then the material, then Adjust**

**2. Pick Remove or Add, and how much**

**3. Pick a reason**

**Spillage or waste**, **Used by us**, **Damaged or contaminated**, **Returned to stock**, **Correction** or **Other**. **Other** needs a note.

## History

Open a material to see every change, newest first: loads that went out, deliveries received, counts and adjustments, with who made each one and the amount after it.

Nothing is ever deleted. To fix a mistake, use **Adjust** with the reason **Correction**.

To download your history, tap **Export history** on the Inventory page and pick the dates. It opens in Excel or Google Sheets.
