Besides stock you send to stores, you probably keep some copies yourself for signings, events and direct sales. Those appear in the On Hand section at the bottom of Inventory Manager.
Where the numbers come from
On Hand isn't a separate list. It reads the quantities saved on each book's Inventory tab in Book Library, so there's only ever one copy of these numbers. Change them in either place and both stay the same.
Only formats with a quantity above zero are listed. The total number of units is shown at the top of the section.
Add or update on-hand stock
From Inventory Manager:
- In the left sidebar, click Inventory Manager.
- In On Hand, click the row for the book. The book opens on its Inventory tab.
- Update the quantities and save the book.
If a book isn't listed yet, it has no on-hand stock recorded. Open the book in Book Library, go to its Inventory tab, and add the quantity there.
Filters
The book and pen name filters also apply to On Hand. The date buttons don't, because on-hand stock isn't tied to a date.
Good to know
Logging a shipment doesn't reduce your on-hand quantities automatically. If the books you shipped came from your own stock, update the book's Inventory tab as well.
