Stock level

The stock level object contains information held against stock level records.

Stock levels in Current RMS belong to products. They contain information about the physical units that you rent or sell.

  • For serialized products, one stock level is one physical unit (i.e. an asset). A serialized product typically has multiple stock levels.

  • For bulk products, a stock level is for many physical units. When creating a bulk stock level, you set a quantity against it.

Current RMS shows you a list of stock levels for serialized and bulk stock products on a product page in Resources > Products.

Stock levels for non-stock and sub-rent bookings

Non-stock products, by their nature, do not have stock levels you can edit in the web interface. You've told Current RMS that you don't want to track (or even don't hold any) stock of them.

Similarly, stock that you sub-rent from a vendor doesn't have a stock level page. You hold it temporarily for an opportunity, so there's no way to edit or work with it.

However, Current RMS creates system stock levels for non-stock and sub-rent bookings behind the scenes.

These stock levels are created for internal use only and aren't exposed in our web interface. They are exposed in our document layout objects for compatibility.

Resource (service) bookings

Where products have stock levels, services have (bookable) resources. These are people or vehicles or venues used to fulfil a service.

The asset_number object will return the name of the related bookable resource.

Other objects will return blank or an error.

Group bookings

Where a serialized product is added to a reserved quotation or order but an asset hasn't been allocated, this is called a "Group Booking." A quantity is removed from availability, but no particular serialized stock levels are marked as unavailable.

Behind the scenes, Current RMS creates system "Group Booking" stock levels. They aren't exposed in the web interface and are internal only. They are exposed in our document layout objects for compatibility.

Barcode images

In early versions of our standard barcode labels, we printed barcode and QR code images using objects that pointed at URLs:

  • barcode_url

  • qrcode_url

For example, to print a barcode image:

<img src="{{ asset.barcode_url }}" style="max-height: 50px;">

Do not use these objects. Support may be withdrawn in future.

This works, but was slow when working with a large number of stock levels. We've deprecated the barcode_url and qrcode_url objects in favor of new Liquid filters:

  • qrcode

  • code39

  • code128B

These filters convert an object into an SVG.

For example:

<img src="data:image/svg+xml;base64,{{ asset.asset_number | code128B | base64 }}" style="max-height: 25px; padding-left: 44px">

Main use cases

There's a couple of reasons that the stock level object is useful:

  • Printing barcode numbers of or other product documents.

  • Accessing detailed information about an asset allocated on an opportunity.

Document layouts

The stock_level object can be accessed in document layouts created against the following records:

Product

{% for asset in product.assets %}
  {{ asset.asset_number }}
{% endfor %}

Opportunity

{% for asset in order.product_assets %}
  {{ asset.stock_level.serial_number }}
{% endfor %}

Inspection result

{{ inspection_result.stock_level.asset_number }}

Quarantine

{{ quarantine.stock_level.asset_number }}

Discussion templates

The stock_level object can be accessed in discussion templates created against the following records:

Product

{% for asset in product.assets %}
  {{ asset.asset_number }}
{% endfor %}

Opportunity

{% for asset in opportunity.product_assets %}
  {{ asset.stock_level.serial_number }}
{% endfor %}

Quarantine

{{ quarantine.stock_level.asset_number }}

asset_number

Returns blank for bulk or non-stock.

Input

{{ asset.asset_number }}

Output

DB-001

container_components_and_descendants

Use weight_unit against the company object to return your company's weight unit.

depth_padding

Where a stock level is a serialized component, returns the depth padding. Generally used to apply an inline style to a table cell in HTML so that items appear nested.

Increments in multiples of 16.

Input

<td style="padding-left: {{ stock_level.depth_padding }}px;">
  {{ stock_level.item_name }}
</td>

Output

<td style="padding-left: 16px;">
