# Inside a part

> Stock by store, the transaction ledger, suppliers, alternatives, what it fits and what it costs you.

## Tabs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Overview">
    Part number, description, category, unit of measure, standard cost, and the totals across all
    stores.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Stock">
    Where this part actually is — quantity per store, per bin, with each store's own reorder point.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/assetinfinity/95UxrhuglB-erOSy/images/inventory/part-stock.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=95UxrhuglB-erOSy&q=85&s=ebaa328018667c0590f3f7d44cb59fd5" alt="The stock tab of a part" width="2880" height="1800" data-path="images/inventory/part-stock.png" />

    This is the tab that answers "we have twelve, but are any of them *here*".
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Transactions">
    The ledger: every receipt, issue, return, transfer and adjustment, with date, quantity, job and
    who did it.

    Every stock number in the product is derived from this ledger. If a figure looks wrong, this is
    where the truth is.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Suppliers">
    Who sells it, at what price, with what lead time. Lead time is what makes a reorder
    recommendation actionable — a part that takes six weeks needs reordering long before one that
    arrives tomorrow.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Alternatives">
    Parts that will do instead. When stock is short, readiness and the reorder list can consider
    substitutes rather than declaring a job blocked.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Used on">
    Which assets take this part — the reverse of an asset's bill of materials. Useful before
    discontinuing something: this tab says what would be orphaned.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Consumption">
    How much of it you actually get through, computed from the ledger rather than read from a
    summary. A part with no summary is not a part with no history.

    Consumption drives the demand rate the [reorder list](/inventory/reorder) works from.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Issuing against a job

Parts are issued from a store against a work order. That does three things at once: it reduces
stock, it puts a cost on the job, and it adds to the consumption history that forecasts future
demand.

Whether parts may be issued at all depends on the status the job is in — a flag on your
[state model](/config/statuses), not a rule here.

## Adjustments

A stock count that disagrees with the ledger is corrected with an **adjustment**, which is itself a
transaction with a reason. Stock is never silently overwritten.
