Stocks when 1 product = 1 ingredient

If your business involves selling one-piece products (like soda cans or tennis balls) you will need to set up Stocks so that 1 product consists of 1 ingredient. Below you can find the full guide on how to do so.

1. Create an ingredient In the Resources section in the left menu, create an ingredient with the name of the product you are selling. For example, to count the sale of 1 can of Sumol Orange put "Sumol Orange" in the ingredient name. Select "pieces" (pc) as the unit of measure.

1. Create a product Then go to the Products tab in the left menu and create a product with the same name ("Sumol Orange"). Add the appropriate ingredient to this product.

1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 (if needed) Repeat it for each product you want to count.

2. Set up the Product Matrix table Then go to the controller profile (you can do it through the Machines section), to the Product Matrix tab. Here set the maximum amount of product the vending machine can support.

1. Go to the Stocks tab Now click on the Stocks tab. Here replenish the amount of product to the current amount in the vending machine using the Refill resources button.

1. Check the configuration You can now see the remaining product in the vending machine on the Stocks tab, and the units sold on the Consumption tab.

How do Stocks work?

In the Stocks tab, you can check and regulate the amount of resources left in the machine. Resources automatically appear in this section once you've filled out the product matrix of the machine.

The logic is based on the fact that the max refill quantity you indicate in the product matrix counts as 100%. The bare minimum of each resource is 20%. When the resource stock in the machine is below 20%, it's highlighted in red, warning you to refill it.
