How Inventory Works
Vynta tracks inventory at three levels:
When a technician completes a job and records parts used, Vynta automatically deducts those parts from their van stock and logs the consumption against the work order.
Setting Up Inventory
1
Add your parts catalogue
Go to Inventory in the sidebar and click Add Part. Enter the part number, name, unit cost, and the reorder threshold.
2
Stock your vehicles
Open a technician’s profile and assign van stock. Set the quantity loaded onto each vehicle.
3
Set reorder alerts
For each part, define a reorder threshold. When stock drops below this number, Vynta flags it on the dashboard.
Recording Parts on Jobs
When a technician completes a work order, they record which parts were used:- Open the work order and go to the Parts section
- Select parts from the van stock inventory
- Enter the quantity used
- Vynta deducts from van stock and logs the cost against the job
Stock Transfers
Move parts between vehicles or from the warehouse to a van:- Go to Inventory > Transfers
- Select the source and destination
- Choose the parts and quantities
- Confirm the transfer
Viewing Stock Levels
The inventory dashboard shows total stock across all locations, van stock per technician, low stock alerts, recent consumption, and total inventory value.FAQ
