Stock Movements (History List)
The list where every stock in and out of your products is recorded automatically. Every movement — order, return, cancellation, manual adjustment,…
Where to find: Catalog → Stock Movements Who it's for: Anyone who wants to track when, why and by how much their stock changed In short: The list where every stock in and out of your products is recorded automatically. Every movement — order, return, cancellation, manual adjustment, warehouse transfer and import — appears here with its date and the person responsible.
What is it for?
Stock Movements is a history ledger that shows why the quantities in your warehouse changed. When a customer places an order, when a product is returned, or when you update stock by hand, the system automatically adds a row here.
This screen is view only; you do not add or delete rows from here. You simply find the answer to "when, by how much, why did this product's stock go up/down, and who did it?"
To actually change stock you don't use this page — you use the Warehouse Stocks section of the product form or the Update Stock drawer in the product list. (See Product List)
List table — columns
| Column | What does it show? |
|---|---|
| Date | The day and time the movement happened. |
| Product | The name of the product whose stock changed. |
| Variant | The variant that changed (e.g. "Red / M"). If the product has no variant, — appears. |
| Warehouse | The warehouse where the movement happened. If there is no warehouse info, — appears. |
| Reason | The reason for the movement (colored label). See the table below. |
| Quantity | How much the stock changed. An increase shows as green +, a decrease as red −. |
| Reference | The reference of the related record (e.g. order number). If none, —. |
| User | The email of the person who made the movement. For automatic (system) movements it says System. |
Reading the "Quantity" column correctly
The Quantity column shows how much the stock changed with that movement — not the remaining total stock.
| Display | Meaning |
|---|---|
| +5 (green, up arrow) | 5 units were added to stock (in). |
| −3 (red, down arrow) | 3 units were removed from stock (out). |
This screen does not have a separate "how many are left after the movement" column. To see a product's current total stock, look at the product list or the Warehouse Stocks section of the product form.
Reason (movement types)
Every movement has a reason. You recognize it from the colored label:
| Label | When does it occur? | Usual direction |
|---|---|---|
| Order | When an order is placed, stock is deducted. | Out − |
| Return | When a customer returns a product, stock is added back. | In + |
| Cancellation | When an order is cancelled, the reserved stock is returned. | In + |
| Reservation release | When stock held (reserved) for an order is released, it comes back. | In + |
| Manual adjustment | When you update stock by hand (Update Stock or the product form). | Plus or minus |
| Warehouse transfer | When stock is moved from one warehouse to another. | Plus or minus |
| Import | When stock changes through a bulk product/stock import. | Plus or minus |
You always see the exact direction from the color and sign (+/−) in the Quantity column.
Filters
Above the table there are two filters and a clear button:
| Filter | What does it do? |
|---|---|
| Reason | Shows only movements of the type you select. Default: All reasons. |
| Date range | Shows only movements between the two dates you select. |
| Clear filters | This button appears when a filter is active; clicking it resets all filters. |
Empty screen
If there are no movements (or none match your filters), this message appears:
- "No stock movements found."
- "Movements appear here when an order, return or manual stock adjustment occurs."
Pagination (bottom of the table)
- 20 movements are shown per page.
- At the bottom there is a Page / Total Pages indicator and ‹ › (forward/back) arrows.
- Pagination only appears when there is more than one page.
Frequently asked questions
Can I edit or delete a movement? No. This list is a history record and cannot be changed. If you entered a wrong quantity, make a new manual adjustment with the correct amount; both movements will appear in the history.
What are the movements that say "System"? For situations like orders and returns, stock changes automatically; since a person did not do it by hand, the User column says System.
Can I see only one product's movements? This list covers all products; you can narrow it with Date range and Reason. A single product's history can also be followed from that product's own screen.
Why can't I enter stock from here? Because this is a history screen. You enter stock from Warehouse Stocks in the product form or from the Update Stock drawer; every change you make is reflected here as a Manual adjustment.
