In this article, you will learn how to add acquisition cost for Contact Lens (CL), Lens, General, and Frame inventories in Barti. You turn on stock tracking for the item (and location, if applicable), then use Add Stock to record quantity, acquisition date, and acquisition cost.
Important note: The Add Stock button appears only for locations where Has Stock is turned on for that inventory item. If you do not see Add Stock, edit the inventory item and turn on Has stock by default (or turn on Has Stock for the location in Location Specific Pricing & Options), then save.
1. Open the inventory item
- Go to Billing > Inventory (Inventory Overview).
- Open the inventory item you want to add acquisition cost for (Contact Lens, Lens, General, or Frame).
2. Turn on stock tracking (if needed)
- Click Edit Inventory Item.
- Turn on Has stock by default.
- If you have multiple locations, expand Location Specific Pricing & Options and ensure Has Stock is on for the location(s) where you will add stock.
- Click Save (or the primary save action in the modal) to close the edit modal.
3. Add stock and enter acquisition cost
- In the Locations section, find the row for the location you want.
- Click Add Stock for that location.
- In the Add Inventory Stock modal, enter: Quantity (required, minimum 1), Acquisition Date (required), Acquisition Cost in dollars (required; cannot be negative), and optional Notes.
- Click Add Stock to save.
Stock is added for that location and the acquisition cost is recorded. The Supply column in Locations updates to show the new in-stock quantity.
4. Add acquisition cost for more locations or more stock
- To add stock at another location, repeat step 3 for that location (ensure Has Stock is on for that location in the edit modal).
- To add another batch of stock at the same location, click Add Stock again for that location and enter the new quantity, acquisition date, and acquisition cost.
