How to Create an Inventory Level [Step-by-Step guide]

If you need to balance inventory, you can manually create Inventory Levels in techOMS to establish initial SKU counts for your facilities.

This guide covers how to manually create an inventory level for a specific product variant within a physical warehouse.

	Inventory levels can only be created for physical warehouses. Because virtual warehouses are read-only aggregations, you cannot directly create or import inventory for them. For more details on how virtual inventory is calculated, refer to Understanding Virtual Warehouses and Virtual Inventory [Information].

	Make sure that you are operating at the correct Account in the top header before proceeding.

To create an inventory level:

Click Inventory Levels from the left menu under the Inventory section.

Press Create to open the creation dialog.

Complete the fields accordingly:

• Product Variant: Begin typing the product's full name or SKU, and select the desired variant from the dropdown.
• Warehouse: Select the physical warehouse from the list.
• Warehouse SKU: Enter the specific Warehouse SKU value.
• Total Quantity: Indicate the total quantity on hand.

	Ensure you enter the true physical count in the Total Quantity field (on hand), rather than the sellable quantity. The system automatically calculates the Available Quantity (sellable/allocatable) based on your open allocations. For detailed definitions, refer to Understanding Inventory Levels and Order Status Impact [Information].

Press Save to apply the changes.

The inventory level is now created and active for the selected physical warehouse. Once the inventory level has been created, you can modify it in the future as described in How to Manually Adjust Inventory Levels [Step-by-Step Guide].
