An inventory item in Care shows how much of one stocked batch is in stock at one location. Care calculates this count for you. You cannot create or edit an inventory item, and there is no manual stock adjustment.
Key Attributes
| Components | What it captures |
|---|---|
| Product | The specific stocked batch that this count is for. |
| Net Content | The quantity that is in stock now. |
| Status | The current state of the inventory item. |
| Expiration Date | The date after which you cannot use the batch. |
| Batch/Lot Number | The batch or lot number of the stocked product. |

How the count changes
Every inventory item belongs to one product and one location. Care changes the count in these situations:
- Someone receives a purchase delivery at the location and marks it complete.
- Someone completes a supply delivery that moves stock to or from the location.
- Someone dispenses a medicine to a patient from this stock.
