Increase or decrease inventory quantities or update component details in bulk for stock takes, reconciliations, and corrections—with full audit tracking.
Purpose
Bulk Update is used to adjust inventory quantities or revise component information such as Code, Category, Size, Name, Location, Supplier, Type, Weight, Hire Cost, Replacement Cost, Selling Cost, and Alert Level%.
It is also used for:
Stock Takes – aligning physical counts with system quantities
Stock Reconciliations – correcting discrepancies after audits or inspections
General Corrections – fixing issues caused by data entry errors or miscounts
Bulk Update provides a controlled and auditable method for keeping your digital inventory accurate. Every Bulk Update creates a movement record and can be reversed at any time.

Hides all inventory items.
Once you edit or add quantities to items, toggle the list off again to only display the times you have chosen to update, adjust or modify.
