How ERPNext inventory works in practice
Every movement — receipt, transfer, delivery, production issue — writes one stock ledger entry with quantity, value and reason. Counts stop drifting because there is nowhere for shadow stock to hide: sales can only ship what exists, purchases land where they were received, and reconciliation becomes a scheduled habit instead of an annual shock.
The backbone for distributors and manufacturers
Distribution lives and dies on stock truth; see our distribution solution and the industry insights. It also feeds manufacturing and the wider ERPNext platform. Reference detail is in the official ERPNext documentation.
Frequently asked questions
Can it handle multiple warehouses?
Yes — unlimited warehouses in a tree, with transfers, in-transit stock and bin-level tracking.
Does it support batch and expiry?
Fully: batch numbers, manufacturing and expiry dates, FEFO picking and recall traceability.
How accurate is valuation?
Stock and accounting post together, so inventory value in the balance sheet always ties back to the ledger.
