Managing stock

Maintain your inventory catalogue so jobs can assign the right materials. By default, new items are individual slabs (stone). Quantity items such as adhesives or sinks are optional — turn them on under Settings → Stock.

Steps​

  1. Open Stock and click Add item (or edit an existing row).
  2. For slabs, pick brand → colour → thickness → Standard and/or Jumbo. SKU and name fill in from that. Then set status, location, and preferred supplier. New materials are slab-tracked unless you have enabled other stock.
  3. Save, then open Slabs on the item. Add each full slab or remnant with:
    • Shop code — short code to write on the slab edge (suggested for you; you can change it)
    • Supplier ID (optional) — the mark already on the piece from the yard or quarry
    • Length × width × thickness, location, and optional photos
  4. Optionally print QR labels for pieces you want to scan later.
  5. Catalog quantity for slab items follows the free piece count.

If you need adhesives, sinks, or other non-slab stock, open Settings → Stock and enable other stock. You can then choose Quantity tracking when adding items.

Soft-plan on quotes​

On a quote, use Planned stock to pick slabs you expect to use. Planning does not lock the piece for other jobs. When the customer accepts the quote, CutBench tries to reserve those slabs for the job. If a planned piece was allocated elsewhere, the job shows Needs reassignment so you can pick another slab.

Remnants after a cut​

When a job material has an allocated slab, use Mark used on the job. You can:

  • Consume the slab with no leftover, or
  • Create one or two remnant pieces (size + optional photo of the leftover)

Those remnants stay linked to the parent slab and appear as free stock for later jobs.
